## NAME

           form_request_by_name, form_request_name - handle printable form request
           names

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <form.h>

           const char *form_request_name(int request);
           int form_request_by_name(const char *name);

## DESCRIPTION

           The function form_request_name returns the printable  name  of  a  form
           request  code.  The function form_request_by_name searches in the name-
           table for a request with the given name and returns its  request  code.
           Otherwise E_NO_MATCH is returned.

## RETURN VALUE

           form_request_name   returns   NULL   on   error   and   sets  errno  to
           E_BAD_ARGUMENT.

           form_request_by_name returns E_NO_MATCH on  error.   It  does  not  set
           errno.

## PORTABILITY

           These  routines  are  specific  to ncurses.  They were not supported on
           Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended that any
           code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
