keybound - return definition of keycode
#include <curses.h>
char * keybound(int keycode, int count);
This is an extension to the curses library. It permits an
application to determine the string which is defined in
the terminfo for specific keycodes.
The keycode parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL
is returned. If it does not correspond to a defined key,
then NULL is returned. The count parameter is used to
allow the application to iterate through multiple defini-
tions, counting from zero. When successful, the function
returns a string which must be freed by the caller.
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 con-
ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
