NAME

       keyname, key_name - return character string used as key name

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib 
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       char *keyname(int c);

       char *key_name(wchar_t wc);

PARAMETERS

       c		       Is an 8 bit-character or a key code.

       wc		       Is a wide character key name.

DESCRIPTION

       The keyname() function returns a string pointer to the key name.   Make a duplicate copy of the returned string if you plan to modify it.

       The key_name() function is similar except that it accepts a wide character key name.

       The following table shows the format of the key name based on the input.

       +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |Input				  Format of Key Name		      |
       |Visible character		  The same character		      |
       |Control character		  ^X				      |
       |Meta-character (keyname() only)   M-X				      |
       |Key value defined in <curses.h>   KEY_name			      |
       |(keyname() only)						      |
       |None of the above		  UNKNOWN KEY			      |
       +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

       In the preceding table, X can be either a visible character with the high bit cleared or a control character.

RETURN VALUES

       On success, these functions return a pointer to the string used as the key's name. Otherwise, they return a null pointer.

ERRORS

       None.

NAME

       erasechar, erasewchar, killchar, killwchar - return current ERASE or KILL characters

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       char erasechar(void);

       int erasewchar(wchar_t *ch);

       char killchar(void);

       int killwchar(wchar_t *ch);

DESCRIPTION

       The erasechar() function returns the current ERASE character  from the tty driver.  This character is used to delete the previous character
       during keyboard input.  The returned value can be used when including deletion capability in  interactive programs.

       The killchar() function is similar to erasechar(). It returns the current KILL character.

       The erasewchar() and killwchar() functions are similar to  erasechar() and killchar() respectively, but store the  ERASE or KILL  character
       in the object pointed to by ch.

PARAMETERS

       ch    Is a pointer to a location where a character may be stored.

RETURN VALUES

       For erasechar() and killchar(), the terminal's current  ERASE or KILL character is returned.

       On success, the erasewchar() and killwchar() functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
