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	 suc-
       cessful,	 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.
