NAME¶
define_key - define a keycodeSYNOPSIS¶
#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 control 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 negative or zero, any existing string for the given definition is removed.
