SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       const char * tickit_ctlname(TickitCtl ctl);
       TickitCtl tickit_lookup_ctl(const char * name);

       TickitType tickit_ctltype(TickitCtl ctl);

DESCRIPTION

       tickit_ctlname()  returns the name of the given toplevel instance control. These names are
       the lowercase strings given in tickit(7).

       tickit_lookup_ctl() returns the control constant for a given name.  If  the  name  is  not
       recognised then -1 is returned.

       tickit_ctltype()  returns  the type of the given instance control, as one of the following
       constants:

       TICKIT_TYPE_BOOL
              The value is an integer representing a simple boolean  choice,  where  any  nonzero
              value is true. Use tickit_setctl_int(3) and tickit_getctl_int(3).

       TICKIT_TYPE_INT
              The  value  is  an  integer  representing a quantity, or a value in some particular
              enumeration. Use tickit_setctl_int(3) and tickit_getctl_int(3).

       For unrecognised control types, the function returns 0.

RETURN VALUE

       tickit_ctlname() returns a constant string pointer. tickit_lookup_ctl() returns an control
       constant or -1. tickit_ctltype() returns a control type constant or 0.
