form_data(3X)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is form_data(3X), a Library calls page, and it's literally all about data_ahead, data_behind — test for off-screen data in given forms. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <form.h>

bool data_ahead(const FORM *form);
bool data_behind(const FORM *form);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, here's the tea:

• data_ahead — tests whether there is off-screen data ahead in the given form. It returns TRUE (1) or FALSE (0). ✨
• data_behind — tests whether there is off-screen data behind in the given form. It returns TRUE (1) or FALSE (0). 🫶

that's the whole vibe: ahead check, behind check, and a TRUE (1) or FALSE (0) answer. periodt. 💅

🌈 PORTABILITY 🌈

these routines emulate the System V forms library. they were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. so on those, it's giving “not invited to the party” energy. 💀

👑 AUTHORS 👑

Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond. iconic work, honestly. 🎀

cute little sign-off with the source/version and date tea: this was ncurses 6.5, dated 2024-03-16, and the manual page is form_data(3X). 🦋💖
