form_userptr(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	  form_userptr(3)

NAME
     form_userptr - associate application data with a form item

SYNOPSIS
     #include <form.h>
     int set_form_userptr(FORM *form, void *userptr);
     void* form_userptr(const FORM *form);

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.

RETURN VALUE
     The function form_userptr returns NULL on error. The func-
     tion set_form_userptr returns one of the following:

     E_OK The routine succeeded.

     E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	  System error occurred (see errno).

SEE ALSO
     curses(3), form(3).

NOTES
     The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header
     file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY
     These routines emulate the System V forms library.	 They
     were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

     The user pointer should be a void pointer.	 We leave it as a
     char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
