DESCRIPTION
The slk* functions manipulate the set of soft function-key labels that exist on many ter-
minals. For those terminals that do not have soft labels, curses takes over the bottom
line of stdscr, reducing the size of stdscr and the variable LINES. curses standardizes
on eight labels of up to eight characters each. In addition to this, the ncurses implemen-
tation supports a mode where it simulates 12 labels of up to five characters each. This is
most common for todays PC like enduser devices. Please note that ncurses simulates this
mode by taking over up to two lines at the bottom of the screen, it does not try to use
any hardware support for this mode.
The slk_init routine must be called before initscr or newterm is called. If initscr even-
tually uses a line from stdscr to emulate the soft labels, then fmt determines how the la-
bels are arranged on the screen. Setting fmt to 0 indicates a 3-2-3 arrangement of the
labels, 1 indicates a 4-4 arrangement and 2 indicates the PC like 4-4-4 mode. If fmt is
set to 3, it is again the PC like 4-4-4 mode, but in addition an index line is generated,
helping the user to identify the key numbers easily.
The slk_set routine requires labnum to be a label number, from 1 to 8 (resp. 12); label
must be the string to be put on the label, up to eight (resp. five) characters in length.
A null string or a null pointer sets up a blank label. fmt is either 0, 1, or 2, indicat-
ing whether the label is to be left-justified, centered, or right-justified, respective-
ly, within the label.
The slk_refresh and slk_noutrefresh routines correspond to the wrefresh and wnoutrefresh
routines.
The slk_label routine returns the current label for label number labnum, with leading and
trailing blanks stripped.
The slk_clear routine clears the soft labels from the screen.
The slk_restore routine restores the soft labels to the screen after a slk_clear has been
performed.
The slk_touch routine forces all the soft labels to be output the next time a slk_noutre-
fresh is performed.
The slk_attron, slk_attrset, slk_attroff and slk_attr routines correspond to attron, at-
trset, attroff and attr_get. They have an effect only if soft labels are simulated on the
bottom line of the screen. The default highlight for soft keys is A_STANDOUT (as in Sys-
tem V curses, which does not document this fact).
The slk_color routine corresponds to color_set. It has an effect only if soft labels are
simulated on the bottom line of the screen.
RETURN VALUE
These routines return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other
than ERR") upon successful completion.
X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementation
slk_attr
returns the attribute used for the soft keys.
slk_attroff, slk_attron, slk_clear, slk_noutrefresh, slk_refresh, slk_touch
return an error if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized.
slk_attrset
returns an error if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized.
slk_attr_set
returns an error if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized, or the
color pair is outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS-1, or opts is not null.
slk_color
returns an error if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized, or the
color pair is outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS-1.
slk_init
returns an error if the format parameter is outside the range 0..3.
slk_label
returns NULL on error.
slk_set
returns an error if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized, or the
labnum parameter is outside the range of label counts, or if the format param-
eter is outside the range 0..2, or if memory for the labels cannot be allocat-
ed.
NOTES
Most applications would use slk_noutrefresh because a wrefresh is likely to follow soon.
PORTABILITY
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these functions. It changes the argument type
of the attribute-manipulation functions slk_attron, slk_attroff, slk_attrset to be attr_t,
and adds const qualifiers. The format codes 2 and 3 for slk_init() and the function
slk_attr are specific to ncurses.
