keybound(3)                     Library calls                    keybound(3)


NAME

       keybound - get definition of curses keycode


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       keybound(3) 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 specific
       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

       This routine is specific to ncurses.  It was not supported on Version
       7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended that any code
       depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
