+.TH define_key 3NCURSES 2023-12-16 "ncurses 6.4" "Library calls"
+.SH NAME
+\fB\%define_key\fP \-
+define a \fIcurses\fR keycode
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <curses.h>
+.PP
+\fBint define_key(const char *\fIdefinition\fP, int \fIkeycode\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is an extension to the \fIcurses\fP library.
+It permits an application to define keycodes with their corresponding control
+strings,
+so that the \fI\%ncurses\fP library will interpret them just as it would
+the predefined codes in the terminfo database.
+.PP
+If \fIdefinition\fP is \fBNULL\fP,
+any existing one for the keycode is removed.
+Similarly, if the given keycode is negative or zero, any existing string
+for the given definition is removed.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Either \fIkeycode\fP must be greater than zero,
+or \fIdefinition\fP must be non-\fBNULL\fP,
+otherwise \fBERR\fP is returned.
+\fBERR\fP may also be returned if there is insufficient memory to allocate the
+data to store the definition.
+If no error is detected, \fBOK\fP is returned.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These routines are specific to \fI\%ncurses\fP.
+They were not supported on
+Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
+It is recommended that
+any code depending on them be conditioned using \fB\%NCURSES_VERSION\fP.
