tickit_ctl_name() returns the name of the given toplevel instance control. These names are the lowercase strings given in tickit(7).

tickit_ctl_lookup() returns the control constant for a given name. If the name is not recognised then -1 is returned.

tickit_ctl_type() returns the type of the given instance control, as one of the following constants:

TICKIT_TYPE_BOOL

The value is an integer representing a simple boolean choice, where any nonzero value is true. Use tickit_setctl_int(3) and tickit_getctl_int(3).

TICKIT_TYPE_INT

The value is an integer representing a quantity, or a value in some particular enumeration. Use tickit_setctl_int(3) and tickit_getctl_int(3).

For unrecognised control types, the function returns 0.

tickit_ctl_name() returns a constant string pointer. tickit_ctl_lookup() returns an control constant or -1. tickit_ctl_type() returns a control type constant or 0.

tickit(7)

tickit(7).

The man pages tickit_ctl_lookup(3) and tickit_ctl_type(3) are aliases of tickit_ctl_name(3).
