keybound(3x)                     Library calls                    keybound(3x)




NAME

       keybound - get definition of curses keycode


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       char * keybound(int keycode, int count);


DESCRIPTION

       This  is an extension to the curses library.  It permits an application
       to determine the string which is defined in the terminfo  for  specific
       keycodes.


RETURN VALUE

       The keycode parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.
       If it does not correspond to a defined key, then NULL is returned.  The
       count  parameter  is  used  to allow the application to iterate through
       multiple  definitions,  counting  from  zero.   When  successful,   the
       function returns a string which must be freed by the caller.


PORTABILITY

       This  routine  is specific to ncurses.  It was not supported on Version
       7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended  that  any  code
       depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
