X/Open does not define any error conditions.
In this implementation,
If the terminal description includes extended string capabilities,
e.g., from using the \fB\-x\fP option of \fB@TIC@\fP,
then ncurses also defines keys for the capabilities whose names
-begin with "k".
+begin with \*(``k\*(''.
The corresponding keycodes are generated and (depending on previous
loads of terminal descriptions) may differ from one execution of a
program to the next.
The generated keycodes are recognized by the \fBkeyname\fP function
-(which will then return a name beginning with "k" denoting the
-terminfo capability name rather than "K", used for curses key-names).
+(which will then return a name beginning with \*(``k\*('' denoting the
+terminfo capability name rather than \*(``K\*('', used for curses key-names).
On the other hand, an application can use \fBdefine_key\fP to establish
a specific keycode for a given string.
This makes it possible for an application to check for an extended
\fBqiflush\fR, \fBtimeout\fR, and \fBwtimeout\fR may be macros.

The \fBnoraw\fR and \fBnocbreak\fR calls follow historical practice in that
-they attempt to restore to normal (`cooked') mode from raw and cbreak modes
-respectively.

Mixing raw/noraw and cbreak/nocbreak calls leads to tty driver
control states that are hard to predict or understand; it is not recommended.
