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 spe- cific 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 supported 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(3X), keyok(3X).
