NAME

       form_request_by_name, form_request_name - handle printable form request
       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.


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.
