🌸 form_field_just(3X) — set_field_just, field_just, and the justification agenda

💖 NAME

set_field_just, field_just — retrieve field characteristics. Yes bestie, this is the field-justification corner of the forms library, and it's lowkey iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS

#include <form.h>

int set_field_just(FIELD *field, int justification);
int field_just(const FIELD *field);

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Okay so picture this: set_field_just sets the justification attribute of a field, and field_just returns a field's justification attribute. That's the whole vibe. 💅

The attribute may be one of these four, no cap:

  • NO_JUSTIFICATION
  • JUSTIFY_RIGHT
  • JUSTIFY_LEFT
  • JUSTIFY_CENTER

That's the lineup. Those are the values, periodt.

🎀 RETURN VALUE

The function field_just returns one of:

  • NO_JUSTIFICATION
  • JUSTIFY_RIGHT
  • JUSTIFY_LEFT
  • JUSTIFY_CENTER

The function set_field_just returns one of the following:

  • E_OK — the routine succeeded. Slay.
  • E_SYSTEM_ERROR — system error occurred (see errno(3)). 😭
  • E_BAD_ARGUMENT — routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. Not the vibe. 💀

🌈 PORTABILITY

These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. So if you're time-traveling to those versions, bestie, this is not the moment. 🫶
