61 This is an extension to the <EM>curses</EM> library. It permits an application
62 to determine the string which is defined in the terminfo for specific
66 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
67 The <EM>keycode</EM> parameter must be greater than zero, else <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> is returned.
68 If it does not correspond to a defined key, then <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> is returned. The
69 <EM>count</EM> parameter is used to allow the application to iterate through
70 multiple definitions, counting from zero. When successful, the
71 function returns a string which must be freed by the caller.

75 This routine is specific to <EM>ncurses</EM>. It was not supported on Version
76 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code
77 depending on them be conditioned using <STRONG>NCURSES_VERSION</STRONG>.
