| 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 inter- |
| pret them just as it would the predefined codes in the |
| terminfo database. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| The keycode must be greater than zero, and the string non- |
| null, otherwise ERR is returned. ERR may also be returned |
| if there is insufficient memory to allocate the data to |
| store the definition. If no error is detected, OK is |
| returned. |
| |
| |

| <H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE> |
| 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 con- |
| ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION. |
