MirOS Manual: keybound(3)


keyok(3)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             keyok(3)

NAME

     keybound - return definition of 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

     These routines are specific to ncurses.  They were not sup-
     ported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is
     recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned
     using NCURSES_VERSION.

SEE ALSO

     define_key(3), keyok(3).
