NAME

       form_request_by_name, form_request_name - handle printable form request names

SYNOPSIS

       #include <form.h>

       const char *form_request_name(int request);
       int form_request_by_name(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  form_request_name  returns  the printable name of a form request code.  The
       function form_request_by_name searches in the name-table for a request with the given name
       and returns its request code.  Otherwise E_NO_MATCH is returned.

RETURN VALUE

       form_request_name returns NULL on error and sets errno to E_BAD_ARGUMENT.

       form_request_by_name returns E_NO_MATCH on error.  It does not set errno.

PORTABILITY

       These  routines  are  specific  to  ncurses.  They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or
       System V  implementations.   It  is  recommended  that  any  code  depending  on  them  be
       conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
