form_field_userptr(3)UNIX Programmer's Manuaform_field_userptr(3)NAMEform_field_userptr - associate application data with a form
field
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>
int set_field_userptr(FIELD *field, void*userptr);
void *field_userptr(const FIELD *field);
DESCRIPTION
Every form field 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 that field.
RETURN VALUE
The function field_userptr returns NULL on error. The func-
tion set_field_userptr returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
SEE ALSOcurses(3), form(3).
NOTES
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header
file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
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.
