+ The <STRONG>keybound</STRONG> <EM>ncurses</EM> extension permits a <EM>curses</EM> application to obtain
+ the value of the string <EM>bound</EM> to the function key <EM>key-code</EM>; see
+ <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">wgetch(3x)</A></STRONG> (wide-character API users: <STRONG><A HREF="curs_get_wch.3x.html">wget_wch(3x)</A></STRONG>). By default, such
+ bindings are string capabilities from the <EM>terminfo</EM> database entry
+ corresponding to the terminal type. The application can non-
+ destructively and repeatedly override such definitions with
+ <STRONG><A HREF="define_key.3x.html">define_key(3x)</A></STRONG>, as if by pushing new definitions onto a stack. The
+ <EM>count</EM> parameter accesses the <EM>n</EM>th most recently defined binding; <STRONG>0</STRONG>
+ selects the binding that is used on input.
