           form request names

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <form.h>

## 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-ta-
           ble 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.

           file <curses.h>.
