| <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> |
| |
| <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>define_key(const</STRONG> <STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*definition,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>keycode);</STRONG> |

| </PRE> |
| <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE> |
| 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>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> |
| The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is |
| returned. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2>PORTABILITY</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. |
