form_opts(3X)form_opts(3X)NAME
form_opts - set and get form options
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>
int set_form_opts(FORM *form, Field_Options opts);
int form_opts_on(FORM *form, Field_Options opts);
int form_opts_off(FORM *form, Field_Options opts);
Field_Options form_opts(const FORM *form);
DESCRIPTION
The function set_form_opts sets all the given form's option bits (form option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).
The function form_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves others alone.
The function form_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves others alone.
The function form_opts returns the form's current option bits.
The following options are defined (all are on by default):
O_NL_OVERLOAD
Overload the REQ_NEW_LINE forms driver request so that calling it at the end of a field goes to the next field.
O_BS_OVERLOAD
Overload the REQ_DEL_PREV forms driver request so that calling it at the beginning of a field goes to the previous field.
RETURN VALUE
Except for form_opts, each routine returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
SEE ALSO curses(3X), form(3X).
NOTES
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
