Name
       keypad - enable keypad

Syntax
       #include <cursesX.h>

       int keypad(win, bf)
       WINDOW *win;
       bool bf;

Description
       This  option  enables  the  keypad  of  the user's terminal.  If the keypad is enabled, pressing a function key (such as an arrow key) will
       return a single value representing the function key.  For example, pressing the	left  arrow  key  results  in  the  value  KEY_LEFT  being
       returned..  For more information see the Guide to X/Open Curses Screen-Handling.  (R)

       The  routine  is  used  to  return  the character.  If the keypad is disabled, does not treat function keys as special keys and the program
       interprets the escape sequences itself.	Keypad layout is terminal dependent; some terminals do not even have a keypad.

Return Values
       The function returns OK on success and ERR on error.
