.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The slk* functions manipulate the set of soft function-key labels that exist on
|
|
|
|
many terminals. For those terminals that do not have soft labels,
|
|
|
|
\fBncurses\fR takes over the bottom line of \fBstdscr\fR, reducing the size of
|
|
|
|
\fBstdscr\fR and the variable \fBLINES\fR. \fBncurses\fR standardizes on eight
|
|
|
|
labels of up to eight characters each.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_init\fR routine must be called before \fBinitscr\fR or \fBnewterm\fR
|
|
|
|
is called. If \fBinitscr\fR eventually uses a line from \fBstdscr\fR to
|
|
|
|
emulate the soft labels, then \fIfmt\fR determines how the labels are arranged
|
|
|
|
on the screen. Setting \fIfmt\fR to \fB0\fR indicates a 3-2-3 arrangement of
|
|
|
|
the labels; \fB1\fR indicates a 4-4 arrangement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the \fBslk_set\fR routine, \fIlabnum\fR is the label number, from \fB1\fR
|
|
|
|
to \fB8\fR. \fIlabel\fR is the string to be put on the label, up to eight
|
|
|
|
characters in length. A null string or a null pointer sets up a blank label.
|
|
|
|
\fIfmt\fR is either \fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, or \fB2\fR, indicating whether the label
|
|
|
|
is to be left-justified, centered, or right-justified, respectively, within the
|
|
|
|
label.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_refresh\fR and \fBslk_noutrefresh\fR routines correspond to
|
|
|
|
the \fBwrefresh\fR and \fBwnoutrefresh\fR routines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_label\fR routine returns the current label for label number
|
|
|
|
\fIlabnum\fR, with leading and trailing blanks stripped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_clear\fR routine clears the soft labels from the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_restore\fR routine, restores the soft labels to the screen
|
|
|
|
after a \fBslk_clear\fR has been performed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_touch\fR routine forces all the soft labels to be output
|
|
|
|
the next time a \fBslk_noutrefresh\fR is performed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_attron\fR, \fBslk_attrset\fR and \fBslk_attroff\fR routines
|
|
|
|
correspond to \fBattron\fR, \fBattrset\fR, and \fBattroff\fR. They
|
|
|
|
have an effect only if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of
|
|
|
|
the screen.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer
|
|
|
|
value other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBslk_label\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error.
|
|
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
Most applications would use \fBslk_noutrefresh\fR because a
|
|
|
|
\fBwrefresh\fR is likely to follow soon.
