SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       const char * tickit_term_ctlname(TickitTermCtl ctl);
       TickitTermCtl tickit_term_lookup_ctl(const char * name);

       TickitType tickit_term_ctltype(TickitTermCtl ctl);

DESCRIPTION

       tickit_term_ctlname()  returns the name of the given terminal control. These names are the
       lowercase strings given in tickit_term(7).

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

       tickit_term_ctltype()  returns  the  type  of  the  given  terminal 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_term_setctl_int(3) and tickit_term_getctl_int(3).

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

       TICKIT_TYPE_STR
              The value is a string. Use tickit_term_setctl_str(3).

       For unrecognised control types, the function returns 0.

RETURN VALUE

       tickit_term_ctlname() returns a constant string pointer. tickit_term_lookup_ctl()  returns
       an control constant or -1. tickit_term_ctltype() returns a control type constant or 0.
