.TH userptr 3FORM 2024-03-16 "ncurses 6.5" "Library calls"
.SH NAME
\fBset_form_userptr\fP,
\fBform_userptr\fP \-
associate application data with a form item
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fB#include <form.h>
.PP
\fBint set_form_userptr(FORM *\fIform\fP, void *\fIuserptr\fP);
\fBvoid* form_userptr(const FORM *\fIform\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Every form and every form item has a field that can be used to hold
application-specific data (that is, the form-driver code leaves it alone).
These functions get and set the form user pointer field.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The function \fBform_userptr\fP returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fP).
It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
.PP
The function \fBset_form_userptr\fP returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
.SH PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library.
They were not supported on
Version 7 or BSD versions.
.PP
The user pointer is a void pointer.
We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
.SH AUTHORS
Juergen Pfeifer.
Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.
