field_just(3FORM)

💖 field_just(3FORM) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're talking about field_just(3FORM) from the forms library and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

set_field_just, field_just — retrieve field characteristics 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <form.h>

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

like yes, that's the whole vibe. two little functions. one sets, one gets. slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so set_field_just sets the justification attribute of a field, and field_just returns a field's justification attribute. that's it, that's the dynamic. 🔥

and that attribute can be exactly one of these four besties:

• NO_JUSTIFICATION
• JUSTIFY_RIGHT
• JUSTIFY_LEFT
• JUSTIFY_CENTER

no cap, that's the whole list. pick one. 🌈

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

field_just hands you back one of these:

• NO_JUSTIFICATION
• JUSTIFY_RIGHT
• JUSTIFY_LEFT
• JUSTIFY_CENTER

meanwhile set_field_just is out here returning one of the following:

• E_OK — the routine succeeded, we love to see it, iconic behavior ✨
• E_SYSTEM_ERROR — a system error occurred (go peek at errno(3), bestie, it knows what happened) 😭
• E_BAD_ARGUMENT — the routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument 🙈

fr fr, check that return value. it's not just decor.

---

🧚 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 back to those, this is not the moment. 💀
