<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <B>form_userptr</B> - associate application data with a form item


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;form.h&gt;</B>
       int set_form_userptr(FORM *form, void *userptr);
       void* form_userptr(const FORM *form);


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       Every form and every form item has a  field  that  can  be
       used to hold application-specific data (that is, the form-
       driver code leaves it alone).  These functions get and set
       the form user pointer field.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       The  function  <B>form_userptr</B>  returns  <B>NULL</B>  on error.  The
       function <B>set_form_userptr</B> returns one of the following:

       <B>E_OK</B> The routine succeeded.

       <B>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</B>
            System error occurred (see <B>errno</B>).

</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       The header file <B>&lt;form.h&gt;</B> automatically includes the header
       file <B>&lt;curses.h&gt;</B>.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These  routines  emulate the System V forms library.  They
       were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The user pointer should be a void pointer.  We leave it as
       a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
