<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

The UI_STRING gets created internally and added to a UI whenever one of the functions UI_add_input_string(), UI_dup_input_string(), UI_add_verify_string(), UI_dup_verify_string(), UI_add_input_boolean(), UI_dup_input_boolean(), UI_add_info_string(), UI_dup_info_string(), UI_add_error_string() or UI_dup_error_string() is called. For a UI_METHOD user, there&#39;s no need to know more. For a UI_METHOD creator, it is of interest to fetch text from these UI_STRING objects as well as adding results to some of them.

UI_get_string_type() is used to retrieve the type of the given UI_STRING.

UI_get_input_flags() is used to retrieve the flags associated with the given UI_STRING.

UI_get0_output_string() is used to retrieve the actual string to output (prompt, info, error, ...).

UI_get0_action_string() is used to retrieve the action description associated with a UIT_BOOLEAN type UI_STRING. For all other UI_STRING types, NULL is returned. See <a href="../man3/UI_add_input_boolean.html">UI_add_input_boolean(3)</a>.

UI_get0_result_string() and UI_get_result_string_length() are used to retrieve the result of a prompt and its length. This is only useful for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings. For all other UI_STRING types, UI_get0_result_string() returns NULL and UI_get_result_string_length() returns -1.

UI_get0_test_string() is used to retrieve the string to compare the prompt result with. This is only useful for UIT_VERIFY type strings. For all other UI_STRING types, NULL is returned.

UI_get_result_minsize() and UI_get_result_maxsize() are used to retrieve the minimum and maximum required size of the result. This is only useful for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings. For all other UI_STRING types, -1 is returned.

UI_set_result_ex() is used to set the result value of a prompt and its length. For UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, this sets the result retrievable with UI_get0_result_string() by copying the contents of result if its length fits the minimum and maximum size requirements. For UIT_BOOLEAN type UI strings, this sets the first character of the result retrievable with UI_get0_result_string() to the first ok_char given with UI_add_input_boolean() or UI_dup_input_boolean() if the result matched any of them, or the first of the cancel_chars if the result matched any of them, otherwise it&#39;s set to the NUL char <code>\0</code>. See <a href="../man3/UI_add_input_boolean.html">UI_add_input_boolean(3)</a> for more information on ok_chars and cancel_chars.

UI_set_result() does the same thing as UI_set_result_ex(), but calculates its length internally. It expects the string to be terminated with a NUL byte, and is therefore only useful with normal C strings.

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

UI_get_string_type() returns the UI string type.

UI_get_input_flags() returns the UI string flags.

UI_get0_output_string() returns the UI string output string.

UI_get0_action_string() returns the UI string action description string for UIT_BOOLEAN type UI strings, NULL for any other type.

UI_get0_result_string() returns the UI string result buffer for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, NULL for any other type.

UI_get_result_string_length() returns the UI string result buffer&#39;s content length for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, -1 for any other type.

UI_get0_test_string() returns the UI string action description string for UIT_VERIFY type UI strings, NULL for any other type.

UI_get_result_minsize() returns the minimum allowed result size for the UI string for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings, -1 for any other type.

UI_get_result_maxsize() returns the minimum allowed result size for the UI string for UIT_PROMPT and UIT_VERIFY type strings, -1 for any other type.

UI_set_result() returns 0 on success or when the UI string is of any type other than UIT_PROMPT, UIT_VERIFY or UIT_BOOLEAN, -1 on error.
