# keyok 3x 2024-03-16 ncurses 6.5 Library calls

    keyok(3x)                        Library calls                       keyok(3x)

## NAME

           keyok - enable or disable a curses keycode

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <curses.h>

           int keyok(int keycode, bool enable);

## DESCRIPTION

           This  is an extension to the curses library.  It permits an application
           to disable specific keycodes, rather than use the  keypad  function  to
           disable all keycodes.  Keys that have been disabled can be re-enabled.

## RETURN VALUE

           The  keycode  must  be  greater than zero, else ERR is returned.  If it
           does not correspond to a defined key, then ERR  is  returned.   If  the
           enable  parameter  is  true,  then the key must have been disabled, and
           vice versa.  Otherwise, the function returns OK.

## PORTABILITY

           This routine is specific to ncurses.  It was not supported  on  Version
           7,  BSD  or  System V implementations.  It is recommended that any code
           depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
