NAME
       keyok - enable or disable a keycode

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int keyok(int keycode, bool enable);

DESCRIPTION
       This is an extension to the curses library.  It permits an application
       to disable specific keycodes, rather than use the keypad	 function  to
       disable	all keycodes.  Keys that have been disabled can be reenabled.

RETURN VALUE
       The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is  returned.   If  it
       does  not  correspond  to a defined key, then ERR is returned.  If the
       enable parameter is true, then the key must have	 been  disabled,  and
       vice versa.  Otherwise, the function returns OK.

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).
