DESCRIPTION
The UI_STRING gets created internally and added to a UI whenever one of
the functions UI_add_input_string(), UI_dup_input_string(),
UI_add_verify_string(), UI_dup_verify_string(), UI_add_input_boolean(),
UI_dup_input_boolean(), UI_add_info_string(), UI_dup_info_string(),
UI_add_error_string() or UI_dup_error_string() is called. For a
UI_METHOD user, there's no need to know more. For a UI_METHOD creator,
it is of interest to fetch text from these UI_STRING objects as well as
adding results to some of them.
UI_get_string_type() is used to retrieve the type of the given
UI_STRING.
UI_get_input_flags() is used to retrieve the flags associated with the
given UI_STRING.
UI_get0_output_string() is used to retrieve the actual string to output
(prompt, info, error, ...).
UI_get0_action_string() is used to retrieve the action description
associated with a UIT_BOOLEAN type UI_STRING. For all other UI_STRING
types, NULL is returned. See UI_add_input_boolean(3).
prompt result with. This is only useful for UIT_VERIFY type strings.
For all other UI_STRING types, NULL is returned.
UI_get_result_minsize() and UI_get_result_maxsize() are used to
retrieve the minimum and maximum required size of the result. This is
only useful for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings. For all other
UI_STRING types, -1 is returned.
UI_set_result_ex() is used to set the result value of a prompt and its
length. For UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, this sets the
result retrievable with UI_get0_result_string() by copying the contents
of result if its length fits the minimum and maximum size requirements.
For UIT_BOOLEAN type UI strings, this sets the first character of the
result retrievable with UI_get0_result_string() to the first ok_char
given with UI_add_input_boolean() or UI_dup_input_boolean() if the
result matched any of them, or the first of the cancel_chars if the
result matched any of them, otherwise it's set to the NUL char "\0".
See UI_add_input_boolean(3) for more information on ok_chars and
cancel_chars.
UI_set_result() does the same thing as UI_set_result_ex(), but
calculates its length internally. It expects the string to be
terminated with a NUL byte, and is therefore only useful with normal C
strings.
RETURN VALUES
UI_get_string_type() returns the UI string type.
UI_get_input_flags() returns the UI string flags.
UI_get0_output_string() returns the UI string output string.
UI_get0_action_string() returns the UI string action description string
for UIT_BOOLEAN type UI strings, NULL for any other type.
UI_get0_result_string() returns the UI string result buffer for
UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, NULL for any other type.
UI_get_result_string_length() returns the UI string result buffer's
content length for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, -1 for
any other type.
UI_get0_test_string() returns the UI string action description string
for UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, NULL for any other type.
UI_get_result_minsize() returns the minimum allowed result size for the
UI string for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings, -1 for any other
type.
UI_get_result_maxsize() returns the minimum allowed result size for the
UI string for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings, -1 for any other
type.
UI_set_result() returns 0 on success or when the UI string is of any
type other than UIT_PROMPT, UIT_VERIFY or UIT_BOOLEAN, -1 on error.
