form_field_just(3X)

💅 form_field_just — ok bestie let's talk field justification ✨

so this one's from the ncurses corner of the manual, section 3X, and it's all about field characteristics — specifically, how your text sits inside a form field. left? right? centered? none at all? we're choosing. periodt.

✨ 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);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. set_field_just sets the justification attribute of a field, and field_just hands it right back to you. it's giving "tell me your vibe" / "here's my vibe." 💖

that attribute can be exactly one of these four, no substitutes:

• NO_JUSTIFICATION
• JUSTIFY_RIGHT
• JUSTIFY_LEFT
• JUSTIFY_CENTER

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

field_just returns one of these, literally one of these four and nothing else:

• NO_JUSTIFICATION
• JUSTIFY_RIGHT
• JUSTIFY_LEFT
• JUSTIFY_CENTER

set_field_just returns one of the following, and yes we're listing every single one:

• E_OK — the routine succeeded. slay. 💅
• E_SYSTEM_ERROR — a system error occurred (go peek at errno(3), it'll tell you what's up).
• E_BAD_ARGUMENT — the routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. bestie. that's not a valid one. 😭

🌈 PORTABILITY 🌈

these routines emulate the System V forms library. they were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions — so if you're kicking it old-school on those, this is a no. 🫶
