+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The slk* functions manipulate the set of soft function-key
+ labels that exist on many terminals. For those terminals
+ that do not have soft labels, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> takes over the bottom
+ line of <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>, reducing the size of <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> and the vari-
+ able <STRONG>LINES</STRONG>. <STRONG>curses</STRONG> standardizes on eight labels of up to
+ eight characters each. In addition to this, the ncurses
+ implementation supports a mode where it simulates 12 la-
+ bels of up to five characters each. This is useful for
+ today's PC-like enduser devices. ncurses simulates this
+ mode by taking over up to two lines at the bottom of the
+ screen; it does not try to use any hardware support for
+ this mode.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG> routine must be called before <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or
+ <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> is called. If <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> eventually uses a line from
+ <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> to emulate the soft labels, then <EM>fmt</EM> determines how
+ the labels are arranged on the screen:
+
+ <STRONG>0</STRONG> indicates a 3-2-3 arrangement of the labels.
+
+ <STRONG>1</STRONG> indicates a 4-4 arrangement
+
+ <STRONG>2</STRONG> indicates the PC-like 4-4-4 mode.
+
+ <STRONG>3</STRONG> is again the PC-like 4-4-4 mode, but in addition
+ an index line is generated, helping the user to
+ identify the key numbers easily.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_set</STRONG> routine (and the <STRONG>slk_wset</STRONG> routine for the
+ wide-character library) has three parameters:
+
+ <EM>labnum</EM>
+ is the label number, from <STRONG>1</STRONG> to <STRONG>8</STRONG> (12 for <EM>fmt</EM>
+ in <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG> is <STRONG>2</STRONG> or <STRONG>3</STRONG>);
+
+ <EM>label</EM>
+ is be the string to put on the label, up to
+ eight (five for <EM>fmt</EM> in <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG> is <STRONG>2</STRONG> or <STRONG>3</STRONG>)
+ characters in length. A null string or a null
+ pointer sets up a blank label.
+
+ <EM>fmt</EM> is either <STRONG>0</STRONG>, <STRONG>1</STRONG>, or <STRONG>2</STRONG>, indicating whether the
+ label is to be left-justified, centered, or
+ right-justified, respectively, within the la-
+ bel.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_refresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>slk_noutrefresh</STRONG> routines correspond to
+ the <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> routines.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_label</STRONG> routine returns the current label for label
+ number <EM>labnum</EM>, with leading and trailing blanks stripped.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_clear</STRONG> routine clears the soft labels from the
+ screen.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_restore</STRONG> routine restores the soft labels to the
+ screen after a <STRONG>slk_clear</STRONG> has been performed.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_touch</STRONG> routine forces all the soft labels to be
+ output the next time a <STRONG>slk_noutrefresh</STRONG> is performed.
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_attron</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_attrset</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_attroff</STRONG> and <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG> rou-
+ tines correspond to <STRONG>attron</STRONG>, <STRONG>attrset</STRONG>, <STRONG>attroff</STRONG> and <STRONG>attr_get</STRONG>.
+ They have an effect only if soft labels are simulated on
+ the bottom line of the screen. The default highlight for
+ soft keys is A_STANDOUT (as in System V curses, which does
+ not document this fact).
+
+ The <STRONG>slk_color</STRONG> routine corresponds to <STRONG>color_set</STRONG>. It has an
+ effect only if soft labels are simulated on the bottom
+ line of the screen.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ These routines return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and OK (SVr4 speci-
+ fies only "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon success-
+ ful completion.
+
+ X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
+ tion
+
+ <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG>
+ returns the attribute used for the soft keys.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_attroff</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_attron</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_clear</STRONG>,
+ <STRONG>slk_noutrefresh</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_refresh</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_touch</STRONG>
+ return an error if the terminal or the soft-
+ keys were not initialized.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_attrset</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the terminal or the soft-
+ keys were not initialized.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_attr_set</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the terminal or the soft-
+ keys were not initialized, or the color pair
+ is outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS-1, or opts
+ is not null.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_color</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the terminal or the soft-
+ keys were not initialized, or the color pair
+ is outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS-1.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the format parameter is
+ outside the range 0..3.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_label</STRONG>
+ returns <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error.
+
+ <STRONG>slk_set</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the terminal or the soft-
+ keys were not initialized, or the <EM>labnum</EM> pa-
+ rameter is outside the range of label counts,
+ or if the format parameter is outside the
+ range 0..2, or if memory for the labels cannot
+ be allocated.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ Most applications would use <STRONG>slk_noutrefresh</STRONG> because a <STRONG>wre-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>fresh</STRONG> is likely to follow soon.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these func-
+ tions. It changes the argument type of the attribute-ma-
+ nipulation functions <STRONG>slk_attron</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_attroff</STRONG>, <STRONG>slk_attrset</STRONG>
+ to be <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG>, and adds <STRONG>const</STRONG> qualifiers. The format codes
+ <STRONG>2</STRONG> and <STRONG>3</STRONG> for <STRONG>slk_init()</STRONG> and the function <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG> are spe-
+ cific to ncurses.
