This is the type checked by validation + functions. The types are as follows: + + TYPE_ALNUM + Alphanumeric data. Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument, a + minimum field width. + + TYPE_ALPHA + Character data. Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument, a + minimum field width. + + TYPE_ENUM + Accept one of a specified set of strings. Requires a + third <STRONG>(char</STRONG> <STRONG>**)</STRONG> argument pointing to a string list; a + fourth <STRONG>int</STRONG> flag argument to enable case-sensitivity; + and a fifth <STRONG>int</STRONG> flag argument specifying whether a + partial match must be a unique one (if this flag is + off, a prefix matches the first of any set of more + than one list elements with that prefix). Please + notice that the string list is not copied, only a + reference to it is stored in the field. So you should + avoid to use a list that lives in automatic variables + on the stack. + + TYPE_INTEGER + Integer data, parsable to an integer by <STRONG>atoi(3)</STRONG>. + Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument controlling the preci- + sion, a fourth <STRONG>long</STRONG> argument constraining minimum + value, and a fifth <STRONG>long</STRONG> constraining maximum value. + If the maximum value is less or equal the minimum + value, the range is simply ignored. On return the + field buffer is formatted according to the <STRONG>printf</STRONG> + format specification ".*ld", where the '*' is + replaced by the precision argument. For details of + the precision handling see <STRONG>printf's</STRONG> man-page. + + TYPE_NUMERIC + Numeric data (may have a decimal-point part). + Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument controlling the preci- + sion, a fourth <STRONG>double</STRONG> argument constraining minimum + value, and a fifth <STRONG>double</STRONG> constraining maximum value. + If your system supports locale's, the decimal point + character to be used must be the one specified by + your locale. If the maximum value is less or equal + the minimum value, the range is simply ignored. On + return the field buffer is formatted according to the + <STRONG>printf</STRONG> format specification ".*f", where the '*' is + replaced by the precision argument. For details of + the precision handling see <STRONG>printf's</STRONG> man-page. + + TYPE_REGEXP + Regular expression data. Requires a regular expres- + sion <STRONG>(char</STRONG> <STRONG>*)</STRONG> third argument; the data is valid if + the regular expression matches it. Regular expres- + sions are in the format of <STRONG><A HREF="regcomp.3x.html">regcomp(3x)</A></STRONG> and + <STRONG><A HREF="regexec.3x.html">regexec(3x)</A></STRONG>. Please notice that the regular expres- + sion must match the whole field. If you have for + example an eight character wide field, a regular + expression "^[0-9]*$" always means that you have to + fill all eight positions with digits. If you want to + allow fewer digits, you may use for example "^[0-9]* + *$" which is good for trailing spaces (up to an empty + field), or "^ *[0-9]* *$" which is good for leading + and trailing spaces around the digits. + + TYPE_IPV4 + An Internet Protocol Version 4 address. This requires + no additional argument. It is checked whether or not + the buffer has the form a.b.c.d, where a,b,c and d + are numbers between 0 and 255. Trailing blanks in the + buffer are ignored. The address itself is not vali- + dated. Please note that this is an ncurses extension. + This field type may not be available in other curses + implementations. + + It is possible to set up new programmer-defined field + types. See the <STRONG><A HREF="form_fieldtype.3x.html">form_fieldtype(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page. + + +</PRE> +<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> + The functions <STRONG>field_type</STRONG> and <STRONG>field_arg</STRONG> return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on + error.
