NAME
       keybound - return definition of keycode


SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       char * keybound(int keycode, int count);


DESCRIPTION
       This  is  an extension to the curses library.  It permits an application to determine the string which is
       defined in the terminfo for specific keycodes.


RETURN VALUE
       The keycode parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.  If it does not correspond  to  a
       defined  key,  then  NULL  is  returned.  The count parameter is used to allow the application to iterate
       through multiple definitions, counting from zero.  When successful, the function returns a  string  which
       must be freed by the caller.


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.
