define_key(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	    define_key(3)

NAME
     define_key - define a keycode

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int define_key(const char *definition, int keycode);

DESCRIPTION
     This is an extension to the curses library. It permits an
     application to define keycodes with their corresponding con-
     trol strings, so that the ncurses library will interpret
     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 nega-
     tive or zero, any existing string for the given definition
     is removed.

RETURN VALUE
     The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is returned.

PORTABILITY
     These routines are specific to ncurses.  They were not sup-
     ported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is
     recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned
     using NCURSES_VERSION.

SEE ALSO
     keyok(3), key_defined(3).
