       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.

NOTES

       The  header  file  <form.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <curses.h>.

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.
