.SH NAME
|
|
\fBdefine_key\fP \- define a keycode
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBint define_key(const char *definition, int keycode);\fP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is an extension to the curses library.
|
|
It permits an application to define keycodes with their corresponding control
|
|
strings, so that the ncurses library will interpret them just as it would
|
|
the predefined codes in the terminfo database.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the given string is null, any existing definition for the keycode is
|
|
removed.
|
|
Similarly, if the given keycode is negative or zero, any existing string
|
|
for the given definition is removed.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is returned.
|
|
.SH 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.
