.SH NAME
-\fBkey_defined\fP \- check if a keycode is defined
+\fB\%key_defined\fP \-
+test whether a \fIcurses\fR keycode is defined
.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
-.sp
-\fBint key_defined(const char *definition);\fP
+.nf
+\fB#include <curses.h>
+.PP
+\fBint key_defined(const char *\fIdefinition\fP);

.SH DESCRIPTION
-This is an extension to the curses library.
+This is an extension to the \fIcurses\fP library.
It permits an application to determine if a string is currently bound
to any keycode.
.SH RETURN VALUE
If the string is bound to a keycode, its value (greater than zero) is returned.
If no keycode is bound, zero is returned.
-If the string conflicts with longer strings which are bound to keys, -1 is returned.
+If the string conflicts with longer strings
+which are bound to keys, \-1 is returned.
.SH PORTABILITY
-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 conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
