+.SH DESCRIPTION +The slk* functions manipulate the set of soft function-key labels that exist on +many terminals. +For those terminals that do not have soft labels, +\fBcurses\fP takes over the bottom line of \fBstdscr\fP, reducing the size of +\fBstdscr\fP and the variable \fBLINES\fP. +\fBcurses\fP standardizes on eight +labels of up to eight characters each. +In addition to this, the ncurses +implementation supports a mode where it simulates 12 labels of up to five +characters each. +This is useful for PC-like enduser devices. +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. +.SS Initialization +.PP +The \fBslk_init\fP routine must be called before \fBinitscr\fP or \fBnewterm\fP +is called. +If \fBinitscr\fP eventually uses a line from \fBstdscr\fP to +emulate the soft labels, +then \fIfmt\fP determines how the labels are arranged on the screen: +.RS 3 +.TP 3 +.B 0 +indicates a 3\-2\-3 arrangement of +the labels. +.TP 3 +.B 1 +indicates a 4\-4 arrangement +.TP 3 +.B 2 +indicates the PC-like 4\-4\-4 mode. +.TP 3 +.B 3 +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. +.RE +.SS Labels +.PP +The \fBslk_set\fP routine +(and the \fBslk_wset\fP routine for the wide-character library) +has three parameters: +.RS 3 +.TP 5 +.I labnum +is the label number, from \fB1\fP to \fB8\fP +(12 if \fIfmt\fP in \fBslk_init\fP is \fB2\fP or \fB3\fP); +.TP +.I label +is be the string to put on the label, +up to eight +(five if \fIfmt\fP in \fBslk_init\fP is \fB2\fP or \fB3\fP) +characters in length. +A null string or a null pointer sets up a blank label. +.TP +.I fmt +is either +\fB0\fP, \fB1\fP, or \fB2\fP, indicating whether the label is to be +left-justified, centered, or right-justified, respectively, within the +label. +.RE +.PP +The \fBslk_label\fP routine returns the current label for label number +\fIlabnum\fP, with leading and trailing blanks stripped. +.SS Screen updates +.PP +The \fBslk_refresh\fP and \fBslk_noutrefresh\fP routines correspond to +the \fBwrefresh\fP and \fBwnoutrefresh\fP routines. +.PP +The \fBslk_clear\fP routine clears the soft labels from the screen. +.PP +The \fBslk_restore\fP routine restores the soft labels to the screen +after a \fBslk_clear\fP has been performed. +.PP +The \fBslk_touch\fP routine forces all the soft labels to be output +the next time a \fBslk_noutrefresh\fP is performed. +.SS Video attributes +.PP +The +\fBslk_attron\fP, \fBslk_attrset\fP, \fBslk_attroff\fP and \fBslk_attr\fP +routines correspond to +\fBattron\fP, \fBattrset\fP, \fBattroff\fP and \fBattr_get\fP, respectively. +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 +System V curses, which does not document this fact). +.SS Colors +.PP +The \fBslk_color\fP routine corresponds to \fBcolor_set\fP. +It has an effect only +if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of the screen. +.PP +Because \fBslk_color\fP accepts only \fBshort\fP (signed 16-bit integer) values, +this implementation provides +\fBextended_slk_color\fP which accepts an integer value, e.g., 32-bits. +. +.SH RETURN VALUE +These routines return \fBERR\fP upon failure +and \fBOK\fP (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fP") +upon successful completion. +.PP +X/Open defines no error conditions. +In this implementation +.RS 3 +.TP 5 +\fBslk_attr\fP +returns the attribute used for the soft keys. +.TP 5 +.na +.hy 0 +\fBslk_attroff\fP, \fBslk_attron\fP, \fBslk_clear\fP, \fBslk_noutrefresh\fP, \fBslk_refresh\fP, \fBslk_touch\fP +.ad +.hy +return an error +if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized. +.TP 5 +\fBslk_attrset\fP +returns an error +if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized. +.TP 5 +\fBslk_attr_set\fP +returns an error +if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized, or +the color pair is outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS\-1. +.TP 5 +\fBslk_color\fP +returns an error +if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized, or +the color pair is outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS\-1. +.TP 5 +\fBslk_init\fP +returns an error +if the format parameter is outside the range 0..3. +.TP 5 +\fBslk_label\fP +returns \fBNULL\fP on error. +.TP 5 +\fBslk_set\fP +returns an error +if the terminal or the softkeys were not initialized, or +the \fIlabnum\fP parameter is outside the range of label counts, or +if the format parameter is outside the range 0..2, or if +memory for the labels cannot be allocated. +.RE +.SH HISTORY +SVr3 introduced these functions: + slk_clear + slk_init + slk_label + slk_noutrefresh + slk_refresh + slk_restore + slk_set + slk_touch +.PP +SVr4 added these functions: + slk_attroff + slk_attron + slk_attrset + slk_start +.PP +X/Open Curses added these: + slk_attr_off + slk_attr_on + slk_attr_set + slk_color + slk_wset +.SH EXTENSIONS +.PP +X/Open Curses documents the \fIopts\fP argument as reserved for future use, +saying that it must be null. +This implementation +uses that parameter in ABI 6 for the functions which have a color-pair +parameter to support extended color pairs. +.PP +For functions which modify the color, e.g., \fBslk_attr_set\fP, +if \fIopts\fP is set it is treated as a pointer to \fBint\fP, +and used to set the color pair instead of the \fBshort\fP pair parameter. +.SH NOTES +Most applications would use \fBslk_noutrefresh\fP because a +\fBwrefresh\fP is likely to follow soon. +.SH PORTABILITY +The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, described the soft-key functions, +with some differences from SVr4 curses: +.bP +It added functions like the SVr4 +attribute-manipulation functions \fBslk_attron\fP, +\fBslk_attroff\fP, \fBslk_attrset\fP, +but which use \fBattr_t\fP parameters (rather than \fBchtype\fP), +along with a reserved \fIopts\fP parameter. +.IP +Two of these new functions (unlike the SVr4 functions) have no provision +for color: \fBslk_attr_on\fP and \fBslk_attr_off\fP. +.IP +The third function (\fBslk_attr_set\fP) has a color-pair parameter. +.bP +It added \fBconst\fP qualifiers to parameters (unnecessarily), and +.bP +It added \fBslk_color\fP. +.PP +Although \fBslk_start\fP is declared in the curses header file, +it was not documented by SVr4 other than its presence in a list +of libtermlib.so.1 symbols. +Reading the source code (i.e., Illumos): +.bP +\fBslk_start\fP has two parameters: +.RS +.bP +\fIng\fP (number of groups) and +.bP +\fIgp\fP (group pointer). +.RE +.bP +Soft-key groups are an array of \fIng\fP integers. +.bP +In SVr4, \fBslk_init\fP calls \fBslk_start\fP passing a null for \fIgp\fP. +For this case, \fBslk_start\fP uses the number of groups \fIng\fP +(3 for the 3-2-3 layout, 2 for the 4-4 layout) which \fBslk_init\fP provided. +.IP +If \fIng\fP is neither 2 or 3, +\fBslk_start\fP checks the terminfo \fIfln\fP (label_format) capability, +interpreting that as a comma-separated list of numbers, +e.g., \*(``3,2,3\*('' for the 3-2-3 layout. +.IP +Finally, if there is no \fIfln\fP capability, \fBslk_start\fP returns ERR. +.bP +If \fBslk_start\fP is given a non-null \fIgp\fP, +it copies the \fIng\fP elements of the group of soft-keys, up to 16. +.IP +If there are more than 16 elements, \fBslk_start\fP returns an error. +.bP +The format codes \fB2\fP and \fB3\fP for \fBslk_init\fP +were added by ncurses in 1996. +PDCurses 2.4 added this feature in 2001. +.PP +The function \fBslk_attr\fP was added by ncurses in 1996. +.PP +X/Open Curses does not specify a limit for the number of colors and +color pairs which a terminal can support. +However, in its use of \fBshort\fP for the parameters, +it carries over SVr4's implementation detail for the compiled +terminfo database, which uses signed 16-bit numbers. +This implementation provides extended versions of those functions +which use \fBint\fP parameters, +allowing applications to use larger color- and pair-numbers. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fP(3X),
