NAME

       set_form_userptr, form_userptr - associate application data with a form item

SYNOPSIS

       #include <form.h>

       int set_form_userptr(FORM *form, void *userptr);
       void* form_userptr(const FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION

       Every  form  and every form item has a field that can be used to hold application-specific data (that is,
       the form-driver code leaves it alone).  These functions get and set the form user pointer field.

RETURN VALUE

       The function form_userptr returns a pointer (which may be NULL).  It does not set errno.

       The function set_form_userptr returns E_OK (success).

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The user pointer is a void pointer.  We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
