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.
