key_defined - test whether a curses function key code is defined
#include <curses.h>
int key_defined(const char * definition);
The key_defined ncurses extension permits a curses application to determine the function key code, if any, to which the string definition is bound.
key_defined returns the first key code to which definition is bound if any exists. If none does, it returns 0. If definition is a prefix of another binding, key_defined returns -1.
define_key is an ncurses extension.
Applications employing ncurses extensions should condition their use on the visibility of the NCURSES_VERSION preprocessor macro.
