The form library is built using the curses library, and any program using forms routines must call one of the curses initialization
routines such as initscr. A program using these routines must be compiled with -lform and -lcurses on the cc command line.
The forms package gives the applications programmer a terminal-independent method of creating and customizing forms for user-interaction. The forms package includes:
field routines, which are used to create and customize fields, link fields and assign field types; fieldtype routines, which are used to create new field types for validating fields; and form routines,
which are used to create and customize forms, assign pre/post processing functions, and display and interact with forms.
Current Default Values for Field Attributes
| |
The forms package establishes initial current default values for field attributes. During field initialization, each field attribute is assigned the current default value for that
attribute. An application can change or retrieve a current default attribute value by calling the appropriate set or retrieve routine with a NULL field pointer. If an application
changes a current default field attribute value, subsequent fields created using new_field() will have the new default attribute value. (The attributes of previously created fields are
not changed if a current default attribute value is changed.)
