- <STRONG>form_field_buffer</STRONG> - field buffer control
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG>
-
- int set_field_buffer(FIELD *field, int buf, const char
- *value);
- char *field_buffer(const FIELD *field, int buffer);
- int set_field_status(FIELD *field, bool status);
- bool field_status(const FIELD *field);

-</PRE>
-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The function <STRONG>set_field_buffer</STRONG> sets the numbered buffer of
- the given field to contain a given string:
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> Buffer 0 is the displayed value of the field.
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> Other numbered buffers may be allocated by applica-
- tions through the <STRONG>nbuf</STRONG> argument of (see
- <STRONG><A HREF="form_field_new.3x.html">form_field_new(3x)</A></STRONG>) but are not manipulated by the
- forms library.
-
- The function <STRONG>field_buffer</STRONG> returns a pointer to the con-
- tents of the given numbered buffer:
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> The buffer contents always have the same length,
- and are padded with trailing spaces as needed to
- ensure this length is the same.
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> The buffer may contain leading spaces, depending on
- how it was set.
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> The buffer contents are set with <STRONG>set_field_buffer</STRONG>,
- or as a side effect of any editing operations on
- the corresponding field.
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> Editing operations are based on the <EM>window</EM> which
- displays the field, rather than a <EM>string</EM>. The win-
- dow contains only printable characters, and is
- filled with blanks. If you want the raw data, you
- must write your own routine that copies the value
- out of the buffer and removes the leading and
- trailing spaces.
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> Because editing operations change the content of
- the buffer to correspond to the window, you should
- not rely on using buffers for long-term storage of
- form data.
-
- The function <STRONG>set_field_status</STRONG> sets the associated status
- flag of <EM>field</EM>; <STRONG>field_status</STRONG> gets the current value. The
- status flag is set to a nonzero value whenever the field
- changes.
-
- The function <STRONG>set_max_field</STRONG> sets the maximum size for a
- dynamic field. An argument of 0 turns off any maximum
- size threshold for that field.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>field_buffer</STRONG> function returns NULL on error. It sets
- errno according to their success:
-
- <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
-
- <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
- Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
- ment.
-
- The <STRONG>field_status</STRONG> function returns <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>.
-
- The remaining routines return one of the following:
-
- <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
-
- <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
- System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
-
- <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
- Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
- ment.

- <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG> and related pages whose names begin "form_" for
- detailed descriptions of the entry points.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- The header file <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG> automatically includes the header
- file
-
- When configured for wide characters, <STRONG>field_buffer</STRONG> returns
- a pointer to temporary storage (allocated and freed by the
- library). The application should not attempt to modify
- the data. It will be freed on the next call to
- <STRONG>field_buffer</STRONG> to return the same buffer. <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- These routines emulate the System V forms library. They
- were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
