NAME

       keyok - enable or disable a curses 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  re-
       enabled.

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

       This routine is specific to ncurses.  It was not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
       It is recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
