Is an 8 bit-character or a key code.
Is a wide character key name.
The keyname() function returns a string pointer to the key name. Make a duplicate copy of the returned string if you plan to modify it.
The key_name() function is similar except that it accepts a wide character key name.
The following table shows the format of the key name based on the input.
| Input Format of Key Name |
| Visible character The same character |
| Control character ^X |
| Meta-character (keyname() only) M-X |
| Key value defined in <curses.h> (keyname() only) |
| KEY_name |
| None of the above UNKNOWN KEY |
In the preceding table, X can be either a visible character with the high bit cleared or a control character.
On success, these functions return a pointer to the string used as the key's name. Otherwise, they return a null pointer.
None.
