120 These are utility functions that one may use to initialize, build or
121 customize widgets.
122
124 CDKgetDirectoryContents
125 opens and reads the contents of the given directory, filling the
126 array list with the sorted contents of the directory. If the
127 directory cannot be opened then it returns a value of -1.
128 CDKreadFile
130 Read the file filename, load the contents into a dynamically allo‐
131 cated array, storing its address via info. It returns the number
132 of lines read if the file could be opened, -1 otherwise.
133 alignxy
135 Aligns a box on the given window with the height and width given.
136 See cdk_position (3) for the interpretation of the xpos, ypos,
137 boxWidth and boxHeight, parameters.
138 char2Chtype
140 Translate a character string with embedded format markers (e.g.,
141 "</X/Y>Blah Blah") to a null-terminated array of chtype's. The
142 length of the array is stored via the length parameter. The align
143 parameter contains justification information (LEFT, CENTER,
144 RIGHT). The caller is responsible for freeing the result.
145 char2DisplayType
147 Lookup the given name in string and return the equivalent display
148 type. See also cdk_display (3).
149 checkForLink
151 Check if the given line is of the form
152 <F=filename>
153 If so, extract the filename from the line, storing it in the file‐
155 name buffer (which must hold at least CDK_PATHMAX characters).
156 Return nonzero if a filename is extracted.
157 chtype2String
159 Extract the characters and formatting information from a null-ter‐
160 minated array of chtype's string. A dynamically allocated string
161 is returned.
162 deleteCursesWindow
164 Safely delete a given window, i.e., first check if the window
165 parameter is nonnull.
166 eraseCursesWindow
168 Safely erase a given window, i.e., first check if the window
169 parameter is nonnull.
170 getListIndex
172 Display a scrollable list of strings in a dialog, allow the user
173 to select one. Return the index in the list of the value
174 selected. The list parameter contains the strings to display;
175 there are listSize strings in the list. If numbers is true, the
176 displayed list items will be numbered.
177 getString
179 pops up an entry widget with a title supplied by the value of the
180 title parameter, a label supplied by the label parameter, and an
181 initial value supplied by the initialValue parameter. It returns
182 a pointer to the value typed in or NULL if the widget was exited
183 early.
184 justifyString
186 Given a string length mesglen, the available field width field‐
187 Width and a justification type justify, return the number of char‐
188 acters by which to shift the string.
189 mode2Filetype
191 Given a file protection mode fileMode, return ignoring the file-
192 type bits, i.e., ignoring the corresponding permissions data.
193 moveCursesWindow
195 Move a given window by the amounts in xdiff and ydiff.
196 popupDialog
198 creates a quick pop-up dialog box. Pass in the message in the
199 mesg parameter, the size of the message in the mesgCount parame‐
200 ter, the button labels in the buttons parameter and the number of
201 buttons in the buttonCount parameter. The dialog box will be cen‐
202 tered on the screen.
203 popupLabel
205 creates a quick pop-up label widget. The message and the size of
206 the message are passed in via the mesg and count parameters
207 respectively. The label widget waits until the user hits a char‐
208 acter and is centered on the screen.
209 popupLabelAttrib
211 Display a simple dialog with a list of count message strings mesg.
212 Use the given attribute for the background of the dialog.
213 selectFile
215 Display a file-selection dialog. Return the selected filename, or
216 null if none is selected. The caller should free the return-
217 value.
218 setWidgetDimension
220 This is a helper function used to set the height/width of a wid‐
221 get:
222 - If the proposed dimension proposedDim is FULL or zero, the
224 return value will be parentDim.
225 - If the proposed dimension proposedDim is positive,
227 - and it is larger than parentDim, return proposedDim,
229 - otherwise return proposedDim plus adjustment.
231 - If the proposed dimension proposedDim is negative, the return
233 value will be parentDim plus proposedDim.
234 - Otherwise, the return value will be proposedDim.
236 stripWhiteSpace
238 Strip whitespace from the front and/or back of the given string.
239 The stripType parameter controls the type of stripping done:
240 vFRONT, vBACK or vBOTH.
241 viewFile
243 Read the file specified by filename and display it in a CDKVIEWER
244 window. The title, buttons and buttonCount are applied to the
245 CDKVIEWER window. The viewer shows the contents of the file sup‐
246 plied by the filename value. The buttons on the file viewer are
247 supplied by the buttons parameter. It returns the index of the
248 button selected, or -1 if the file does not exist or if the widget
249 was exited early.

263 │vBOTH │ This tells the function to remove │

266 │ │ string. │
267 └────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────┘
268 viewInfo
269 Display the list of strings in info in a CDKVIEWER window. The
270 number of strings is given by size. The title, buttons and but‐
271 tonCount are applied to the CDKVIEWER window.
