39 The UI_STRING gets created internally and added to a UI whenever one of
40 the functions UI_add_input_string(), UI_dup_input_string(),
41 UI_add_verify_string(), UI_dup_verify_string(), UI_add_input_boolean(),
42 UI_dup_input_boolean(), UI_add_info_string(), UI_dup_info_string(),
43 UI_add_error_string() or UI_dup_error_string() is called. For a
44 UI_METHOD user, there's no need to know more. For a UI_METHOD creator,
45 it is of interest to fetch text from these UI_STRING objects as well as
46 adding results to some of them.
47 UI_get_string_type() is used to retrieve the type of the given
49 UI_STRING.
50 UI_get_input_flags() is used to retrieve the flags associated with the
52 given UI_STRING.
53 UI_get0_output_string() is used to retrieve the actual string to output
55 (prompt, info, error, ...).
56 UI_get0_action_string() is used to retrieve the action description
58 associated with a UIT_BOOLEAN type UI_STRING. For all other UI_STRING
59 types, NULL is returned. See UI_add_input_boolean(3).
60 UI_get0_result_string() and UI_get_result_string_length() are used to
62 retrieve the result of a prompt and its length. This is only useful
63 for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings. For all other UI_STRING
64 types, UI_get0_result_string() returns NULL and
65 UI_get_result_string_length() returns -1.
66 UI_get0_test_string() is used to retrieve the string to compare the
68 prompt result with. This is only useful for UIT_VERIFY type strings.
69 For all other UI_STRING types, NULL is returned.
70 UI_get_result_minsize() and UI_get_result_maxsize() are used to
72 retrieve the minimum and maximum required size of the result. This is
73 only useful for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings. For all other
74 UI_STRING types, -1 is returned.
75 UI_set_result_ex() is used to set the result value of a prompt and its
77 length. For UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, this sets the
78 result retrievable with UI_get0_result_string() by copying the contents
79 of result if its length fits the minimum and maximum size requirements.
80 For UIT_BOOLEAN type UI strings, this sets the first character of the
81 result retrievable with UI_get0_result_string() to the first ok_char
82 given with UI_add_input_boolean() or UI_dup_input_boolean() if the
83 result matched any of them, or the first of the cancel_chars if the
84 result matched any of them, otherwise it's set to the NUL char "\0".
85 See UI_add_input_boolean(3) for more information on ok_chars and
86 cancel_chars.
87 UI_set_result() does the same thing as UI_set_result_ex(), but
89 calculates its length internally. It expects the string to be
90 terminated with a NUL byte, and is therefore only useful with normal C
91 strings.
92
94 UI_get_string_type() returns the UI string type.
95 UI_get_input_flags() returns the UI string flags.
97 UI_get0_output_string() returns the UI string output string.
99 UI_get0_action_string() returns the UI string action description string
101 for UIT_BOOLEAN type UI strings, NULL for any other type.
102 UI_get0_result_string() returns the UI string result buffer for
104 UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, NULL for any other type.
105 UI_get_result_string_length() returns the UI string result buffer's
107 content length for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, -1 for
108 any other type.
109 UI_get0_test_string() returns the UI string action description string
111 for UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, NULL for any other type.
112 UI_get_result_minsize() returns the minimum allowed result size for the
114 UI string for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings, -1 for any other
115 type.
116 UI_get_result_maxsize() returns the minimum allowed result size for the
118 UI string for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings, -1 for any other
119 type.
120 UI_set_result() returns 0 on success or when the UI string is of any
122 type other than UIT_PROMPT, UIT_VERIFY or UIT_BOOLEAN, -1 on error.
