NAME


key_defined - check if a keycode is defined

SYNOPSIS


#include <curses.h>

int key_defined(const char *definition);

DESCRIPTION


This is an extension to the curses library. It permits an application to determine if a string is currently bound to any keycode.

RETURN VALUE


If the string is bound to a keycode, its value (greater than zero) is returned. If no keycode is bound, zero is returned. If the string conflicts with longer strings which are bound to keys, -1 is returned.

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(3NCURSES).
