NAME

6       set_form_userptr, form_userptr - associate application data with a form
7       item
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <form.h>
11       int set_form_userptr(FORM *form, void *userptr);
12       void* form_userptr(const FORM *form);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Every form and every form item has a field that can  be  used  to  hold
16       application-specific  data  (that  is,  the  form-driver code leaves it
17       alone).  These functions get and set the form user pointer field.
18

RETURN VALUE

20       The function form_userptr returns a pointer (which may  be  NULL).   It
21       does not set errno.
22
23       The function set_form_userptr returns E_OK (success).
24

SEE ALSO

26       curses(3X), form(3X).

NOTES

29       The  header  file  <form.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
30       <curses.h>.
31

PORTABILITY

33       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not  sup‐
34       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
35
36       The user pointer is a void pointer.  We chose not to leave it as a char
37       pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
