.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The Curses interface manipulates the set of soft function-key labels that exist
on many terminals. For those terminals that do not have soft labels, Curses
takes over the bottom line of \fIstdscr\fR, reducing the size of \fIstdscr\fR
and the value of the \fBLINES\fR external variable. There can be up to eight
labels of up to eight display columns each.
.sp
.LP
To use soft labels, \fBslk_init()\fR must be called before calling
\fBinitscr\fR(3XCURSES), \fBnewterm\fR(3XCURSES), or
\fBripoffline\fR(3XCURSES). If \fBinitscr()\fR eventually uses a line from
\fIstdscr\fR to emulate the soft labels, then \fIfmt\fR determines how the
labels are arranged on the screen. Setting \fIfmt\fR to 0 indicates a 3-2-3
arrangement of the labels; 1 indicates a 4-4 arrangement. Other values for
\fIfmt\fR are unspecified.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_init()\fR function has the effect of calling \fBripoffline()\fR to
reserve one screen line to accommodate the requested format.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_set()\fR and \fBslk_wset()\fR functions specify the text of soft
label number \fIlabnum\fR, within the range from 1 to and including 8. The
\fIlabel\fR argument is the string to be put the lable. With \fBslk_set()\fR
and \fBslk_wset()\fR, the width of the label is limited to eight columns
positions. A null string or a null pointer specifies a blank label. The
\fIjustify\fR argument can have the following values to indicate how to justify
\fIlabel\fR within the space reserved for it:
.sp

.mk
.na

.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_refresh()\fR and \fBslk_noutrefresh()\fR functions correspond to the
\fBwrefresh\fR(3XCURSES) and \fBwnoutrefresh\fR(3XCURSES) functions.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_label()\fR function obtains soft label number \fIlabnum\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_clear()\fR function immediately clears the soft labels from the
screen.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_restore()\fR function immediately restores the soft labels to the
screen after a call to \fBslk_clear()\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_touch()\fR function forces all the soft labels to be output the next
time \fBslk_refresh()\fR or \fBslk_noutrefresh()\fR is called.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_attron()\fR, \fBslk_attrset()\fR, and \fBslk_attroff()\fR functions
correspond to the \fBattron\fR(3XCURSES), \fBattrset\fR(3XCURSES), and
\fBattroff\fR(3XCURSES) functions. They have an effect only if soft labels are
stimulated on the bottom line of the screen.
.sp
.LP
The \fBslk_attr_on()\fR, \fBslk_attr_off()\fR, \fBslk_attr_set()\fR and
\fBslk_color()\fR functions correspond to the \fBattr_on\fR(3XCURSES),
\fBattr_off\fR(3XCURSES), \fBattr_set\fR(3XCURSES), and
\fBcolor_set\fR(3XCURSES) functions. As a result, they support color and the
attribute constants with the \fBWA_\fR prefix.
.sp
.LP
The \fIopts\fR argument is reserved for definition in a future release.
Currently, the \fIopts\fR argument is a null pointer.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
 Upon successful completion, the \fBslk_label()\fR function returns the
requested label with leading and trailing blanks stripped. Otherwise, it
returns a null pointer.
.sp
.LP
 Upon successful completion, the other functions return \fBOK\fR. Otherwise,
they return \fBERR\fR.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
No errors are defined.
.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
 When using multi-byte character sets, applications should check the width of
the string by calling \fBmbstowcs\fR(3C) and then \fBwcswidth\fR(3C) before
calling \fBslk_set()\fR. When using wide characters, applications should check
the width of the string by calling \fBwcswidth()\fR before calling
\fBslk_set()\fR.
.sp
.LP
Since the number of columns that a wide string will occupy is codeset-specific,
call \fBwcwidth\fR(3C) and \fBwcswidth\fR(3C) to check the number of column
positions in the string before calling \fBslk_wset()\fR.
.sp
.LP
 Most applications would use \fBslk_noutrefresh()\fR because a \fBwrefresh()\fR
is likely to follow soon.
