.SH NAME
\fBkey_defined\fP \- check if a keycode is defined
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <curses.h>\fP

\fBint key_defined(const char *definition);\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is an extension to the curses 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.
.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.
.SH SEE ALSO
\fBdefine_key\fR(3X).
