33.SH NAME
34\fBkeyok\fP \- enable or disable a keycode
35.SH SYNOPSIS
36\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
37.sp
38\fBint keyok(int keycode, bool enable);\fP
39.SH DESCRIPTION
40This is an extension to the curses library.
41It permits an application to disable specific keycodes, rather than
42use the \fIkeypad\fP function to disable all keycodes.
Steve Kondikae271bc2015-11-15 02:50:53 +010043Keys that have been disabled can be re-enabled.
Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +053044.SH RETURN VALUE
45The keycode must be greater than zero, else ERR is returned.
46If it does not correspond to a defined key, then ERR is returned.
47If the \fIenable\fP parameter is true, then the key must have been disabled,
48and vice versa.
49Otherwise, the function returns OK.
50.SH PORTABILITY
51These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on
52Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that
53any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
