- This is an extension to the <EM>curses</EM> library. It permits an application
- to determine if a string is currently bound to any keycode.
+ The <STRONG>key_defined</STRONG> <EM>ncurses</EM> extension permits a <EM>curses</EM> application to
+ determine the function key code, if any, to which the string <EM>definition</EM>
+ is bound.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
- 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.
+ <STRONG>key_defined</STRONG> returns the first key code to which <EM>definition</EM> is bound if
+ any exists. If none does, it returns <STRONG>0</STRONG>. If <EM>definition</EM> is a prefix of
+ another bound definition, <STRONG>key_defined</STRONG> returns <STRONG>-1</STRONG>.

- This routine is specific to <EM>ncurses</EM>. It was not supported on Version
- 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code
- depending on them be conditioned using <STRONG>NCURSES_VERSION</STRONG>.
+ Applications employing <EM>ncurses</EM> extensions should condition their use on
+ the visibility of the <STRONG>NCURSES_VERSION</STRONG> preprocessor macro.
