 .SH NAME
 \fBkeybound\fP \- return definition of keycode
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 \fB#include <curses.h>\fP
-
+.sp
 \fBchar * keybound(int keycode, int count);\fP
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 This is an extension to the curses library.
 It permits an application to determine the string which is defined
 in the terminfo for specific keycodes.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
-The keycode must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.
+The \fIkeycode\fP parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.
 If it does not correspond to a defined key, then NULL is returned.
-Otherwise, the function returns a string, which must be freed by the caller.
+The \fIcount\fP parameter is used to allow the application to iterate
+through multiple definitions, counting from zero.
+When successful,
+the function returns a string which must be freed by the caller.
 .SH PORTABILITY
-These routines are specific to ncurses.  They were not supported on
-Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended that
+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.
