- <STRONG>form</STRONG> - curses extension for programming forms

-<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG>
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>form</STRONG> library provides terminal-independent facilities
- for composing form screens on character-cell terminals.
- The library includes: field routines, which create and
- modify form fields; and form routines, which group fields
- into forms, display forms on the screen, and handle inter-
- action with the user.
-
- The <STRONG>form</STRONG> library uses the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> libraries, and a curses
- initialization routine such as <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> must be called
- before using any of these functions. To use the <STRONG>form</STRONG>
- library, link with the options <STRONG>-lform</STRONG> <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG>.
-
-
- <STRONG>Current</STRONG> <STRONG>Default</STRONG> <STRONG>Values</STRONG> <STRONG>for</STRONG> <STRONG>Field</STRONG> <STRONG>Attributes</STRONG>
- The <STRONG>form</STRONG> library maintains a default value for field
- attributes. You can get or set this default by calling
- the appropriate <STRONG>set_</STRONG> or retrieval routine with a <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>
- field pointer. Changing this default with a <STRONG>set_</STRONG> function
- affects future field creations, but does not change the
- rendering of fields already created.
-
-
- <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>Name</STRONG> <STRONG>Index</STRONG>
- The following table lists each <STRONG>form</STRONG> routine and the name
- of the manual page on which it is described.

-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. Rou-
- tines that return an integer return one of the following
- error codes:
-
- <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
-
- <STRONG>E_CONNECTED</STRONG>
- The field is already connected to a form.
-
- <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
- System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
-
- <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
- Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
- ment.
-
- <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
- The form is already posted.
-
- <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
- Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
- tion function.
-
- <STRONG>E_NO_ROOM</STRONG>
- Form is too large for its window.
-
- <STRONG>E_NOT_POSTED</STRONG>
- The form has not been posted.
-
- <STRONG>E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND</STRONG>
- The form driver code saw an unknown request code.
-
- <STRONG>E_INVALID_FIELD</STRONG>
- Contents of a field are not valid.
-
- <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
- No fields are connected to the form.
-
- <STRONG>E_REQUEST_DENIED</STRONG>
- The form driver could not process the request.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG> and related pages whose names begin "form_" for
- detailed descriptions of the entry points.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- The header file <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG> automatically includes the header
- files <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> and <STRONG>&lt;eti.h&gt;</STRONG>.
-
- In your library list, libform.a should be before libn-
- curses.a; that is, you want to say `-lform -lncurses', not
- the other way around (which would give you a link error
- using GNU <STRONG><A HREF="ld.1.html">ld(1)</A></STRONG> and many other linkers).
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- These routines emulate the System V forms library. They
- were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
