NAME
       keyok - enable or disable a 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
       reenabled.

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
       These routines are specific to ncurses.  They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V imple-mentations. implementations.
