+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ This is an extension to the curses library. It permits an
+ application to define keycodes with their corresponding
+ control strings, so that the ncurses library will inter-
+ pret them just as it would the predefined codes in the
+ terminfo database.
+
+ If the given string is null, any existing definition for
+ the keycode is removed. Similarly, if the given keycode
+ is negative or zero, any existing string for the given
+ definition is removed.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is
+ returned.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ 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.
