keyok(3) UNIX Programmer's Manual keyok(3)
keyok - enable or disable a keycode
#include <curses.h>
int keyok(int keycode, bool enable);
This is an extension to the curses library. It permits an
application to disable specific keycodes, rather than use
the keypad function to disable all keycodes. Keys that have
been disabled can be reenabled.
The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is returned.
If it does not correspond to a defined key, then ERR is
returned. If the enable parameter is true, then the key must
have been disabled, and vice versa. Otherwise, the function
returns OK.
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.
