.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,
|
|
\fBcurses\fR takes over the bottom line of \fBstdscr\fR, reducing the size of
|
|
\fBstdscr\fR and the variable \fBLINES\fR. \fBcurses\fR standardizes on eight
|
|
labels of up to eight characters each. In addition to this, the ncurses
|
|
implementation supports a mode where it simulates 12 labels of up to five
|
|
characters each. This is most common for todays PC like enduser devices.
|
|
Please note that ncurses simulates this mode by taking over up to two lines at
|
|
the bottom of the screen, it doesn't try to use any hardware support for this
|
|
mode.
|
|
|
|
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 and \fB2\fR indicates the
|
|
PC like 4-4-4 mode. If \fBfmt\fR is set to \fB3\fR, it is again the PC like
|
|
4-4-4 mode, but in addition an index line is generated, helping the user to
|
|
identify the key numbers easily.
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_set\fR routine requires \fIlabnum\fR to be a label number,
|
|
from \fB1\fR to \fB8\fR (resp. \fB12\fR); \fIlabel\fR must be the string
|
|
to be put on the label, up to eight (resp. five) 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, \fBslk_attroff\fR and \fBslk_attr\fR
|
|
routines correspond to \fBattron\fR, \fBattrset\fR, \fBattroff\fR and \fBattr_get\fR.
|
|
They have an effect only if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of
|
|
the screen. The default highlight for soft keys is A_STANDOUT (as in
|
|
System V curses, which does not document this fact).
|
|
|
|
The \fBslk_color\fR routine corresponds to \fBcolor_set\fR. It has an effect only
|
|
if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of the screen.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
These routines return \fBERR\fR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an
|
|
integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion. \fBslk_attr\fR
|
|
returns the attribute used for the soft keys.
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these functions. It changes the
|
|
argument type of the attribute-manipulation functions \fBslk_attron\fR,
|
|
\fBslk_attroff\fR, \fBslk_attrset\fR to be \fBattr_t\fR, and adds \fBconst\fR
|
|
qualifiers. The format codes \fB2\fR and \fB3\fR for \fBslk_init()\fR and the
|
|
function \fBslk_attr\fR are specific to ncurses.
