NAME
key_defined - test whether a curses keycode is defined
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int key_defined(const char *definition);
DESCRIPTION
This is an extension to the curses library. It permits an application
to determine if a string is currently bound to any keycode.
RETURN VALUE
If the string is bound to a keycode, its value (greater than zero) is
returned. If no keycode is bound, zero is returned. If the string
conflicts with longer strings which are bound to keys, -1 is returned.
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.
