61       This  is an extension to the <EM>curses</EM> library.  It permits an application
62       to determine if a string is currently bound to any keycode.

64
65</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
66       If the string is bound to a keycode, its value (greater than  zero)  is
67       returned.   If  no  keycode  is bound, zero is returned.  If the string
68       conflicts with longer strings which are bound to keys, -1 is returned.

72       This routine is specific to <EM>ncurses</EM>.  It was not supported  on  Version
73       7,  BSD  or  System V implementations.  It is recommended that any code
74       depending on them be conditioned using <STRONG>NCURSES_VERSION</STRONG>.
