NAME

       key_defined - test whether a curses function key code is defined

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int key_defined(const char * definition);

DESCRIPTION

       The  key_defined  ncurses  extension  permits a curses application to determine the function key code, if
       any, to which the string definition is bound.

RETURN VALUE

       key_defined returns the first key code to which definition is bound if any  exists.   If  none  does,  it
       returns 0.  If definition is a prefix of another binding, key_defined returns -1.

EXTENSIONS

       define_key is an ncurses extension.

PORTABILITY

       Applications  employing  ncurses  extensions  should  condition  their  use  on  the  visibility  of  the
       NCURSES_VERSION preprocessor macro.
