.SH NAME
\fBkeybound\fP \- return definition of keycode
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
-
+.sp
\fBchar * keybound(int keycode, int count);\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
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.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-The keycode must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.
+The \fIkeycode\fP parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.
If it does not correspond to a defined key, then NULL is returned.
-Otherwise, the function returns a string, which must be freed by the caller.
+The \fIcount\fP parameter is used to allow the application to iterate
+through multiple definitions, counting from zero.
+When successful,
+the function returns a string which must be freed by the caller.
.SH PORTABILITY
