key_defined   (3X) manpage
key_defined
3X
  • 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(3X).
