DESCRIPTION
       These  are  utility  functions that one may use to initialize, build or
       customize widgets.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
       CDKchdir
	    Change working directory to	the  given  path,  possibly  expanding
	    tilde (~) and wildcards (*).  It returns zero on success.

       CDKgetDirectoryContents
	    opens  and	reads the contents of the given	directory, filling the
	    array list with the	sorted contents	of the directory.  If the  di-
	    rectory cannot be opened then it returns a value of	-1.

       CDKopenFile
	    Open the file, possibly expanding tilde (~)	and wildcards (*).  It
	    returns a FILE pointer.

       CDKreadFile
	    Read the file filename, load the contents into a dynamically allo-
	    cated  array, storing its address via info.	 It returns the	number
	    of lines read if the file could be opened, -1 otherwise.

       alignxy
	    Aligns a box on the	given window with the height and width	given.
	    See	 cdk_position  (3)  for	 the interpretation of the xpos, ypos,
	    boxWidth and boxHeight, parameters.

       char2Chtype
	    Translate a	character string with embedded HTML-like format	 mark-
	    ers	 (e.g.,	 "</X/Y>Blah  Blah")  to  a  null-terminated  array of
	    chtype's.

	    	The length of the array	is stored via the length parameter.

	    	The align parameter contains justification information	(LEFT,
		CENTER,	RIGHT).

		The caller is responsible for freeing the result.

	    See	cdk_display(3) for details on formatting.

       char2DisplayType
	    Lookup  the	given name in string and return	the equivalent display
	    type.  See also cdk_display(3).

       checkForLink
	    Check if the given line is of the form
	    <F=filename>

	    If so, extract the filename	from the line, storing it in the file-
	    name buffer	(which must hold  at  least  CDK_PATHMAX  characters).
	    Return nonzero if a	filename is extracted.

       chtype2String
	    Extract the	characters and formatting information from a null-ter-
	    minated  array of chtype's string.	A dynamically allocated	string
	    is returned.

	    See	cdk_display(3) for details on Cdk's formatting.

	    In addition, this function supports	a feature needed to  represent
	    multi-line	  title	  strings   returned   by   getCdkTitle	  (see
	    cdk_objs(3)).  Each	newline	separating lines in the	title is  rep-
	    resented  by  "<#10>" to allow Cdk to display the string in	a text
	    field.

       deleteCursesWindow
	    Safely delete a given window, i.e.,	first check if the window  pa-
	    rameter is nonnull.

       enableCursesMarkup
	    Normally  Cdk  checks  for	HTML-like  markup in character strings
	    which it translates	to curses strings with char2Chtype.  Use  this
	    function to	disable	the feature temporarily.

       eraseCursesWindow
	    Safely erase a given window, i.e., first check if the window para-
	    meter is nonnull.

       getListIndex
	    Display  a	scrollable list	of strings in a	dialog,	allow the user
	    to select one.  Return the index in	the  list  of  the  value  se-
	    lected.

	    	The  list parameter contains the strings to display; there are
		listSize strings in the	list.

	    	If numbers is true, the	displayed list items will be numbered.

       getString
	    pops up an entry widget with

	    	a title	supplied by the	value of the title parameter,

	    	a label	supplied by the	label parameter, and

	    	an initial value supplied by the initialValue parameter.

	    It returns a pointer to the	value typed in or NULL if  the	widget
	    was	exited early.

       justifyString
	    Given  a  string  length mesglen, the available field width	field-
	    Width and a	justification type justify, return the number of char-
	    acters by which to shift the string.

       mode2Filetype
	    Given a file protection mode fileMode, return ignoring  the	 file-
	    type bits, i.e., ignoring the corresponding	permissions data.

       moveCursesWindow
	    Move a given window	by the amounts in xdiff	and ydiff.

       popupDialog
	    creates a quick pop-up dialog box.	Pass in

	    	the message in the mesg	parameter,

	    	the size of the	message	in the mesgCount parameter,

	    	the button labels in the buttons parameter and

	    	the number of buttons in the buttonCount parameter.

	    The	dialog box will	be centered on the screen.

       popupLabel
	    creates a quick pop-up label widget.

	    The	message	and the	size of	the message are	passed in via the mesg
	    and	count parameters respectively.

	    The	label widget waits until the user hits a character and is cen-
	    tered on the screen.

       popupLabelAttrib
	    Display a simple dialog with a list	of count message strings mesg.
	    Use	the given attribute for	the background of the dialog.

       selectFile
	    Display a file-selection dialog.  Return the selected filename, or
	    null  if  none  is	selected.   The	caller should free the return-
	    value.

       setWidgetDimension
	    This is a helper function used to set the height/width of  a  wid-
	    get:

	    	If the proposed	dimension proposedDim is FULL or zero, the re-
		turn value will	be parentDim.

	    	If the proposed	dimension proposedDim is positive,

		   and	it is larger than parentDim, return proposedDim,

		   otherwise return proposedDim plus adjustment.

	    	If  the	proposed dimension proposedDim is negative, the	return
		value will be parentDim	plus proposedDim.

	    	Otherwise, the return value will be proposedDim.

       stripWhiteSpace
	    Strip whitespace from the front and/or back	of the given string.

	    The	stripType parameter  controls  the  type  of  stripping	 done:
	    vFRONT, vBACK or vBOTH.

       viewFile
	    Read  the file specified by	filename and display it	in a CDKVIEWER
	    window.  The title,	buttons	and buttonCount	are applied to the CD-
	    KVIEWER window.

	    	The viewer shows the contents of  the  file  supplied  by  the
		filename value.

	    	The buttons on the file	viewer are supplied by the buttons pa-
		rameter.

	    It	returns	 the  index  of	the button selected, or	-1 if the file
	    does not exist or if the widget was	exited early.

	     +-----------------+-------------------------------------+
	     | Strip_Type      | Result				     |
	     +-----------------+-------------------------------------+
	     +-----------------+-------------------------------------+
	     | vFRONT	       | This tells the	function  to  remove |
	     |		       | all  of  the  white  space from the |
	     |		       | front of the given string.	     |
	     +-----------------+-------------------------------------+
	     | vBACK	       | This tells the	function  to  remove |
	     |		       | all  of  the  white  space from the |
	     |		       | back of the given string.	     |
	     +-----------------+-------------------------------------+
	     | vBOTH	       | This tells the	function  to  remove |
	     |		       | all  of  the  white space from	both |
	     |		       | the front and the back	of the given |
	     |		       | string.			     |
	     +-----------------+-------------------------------------+

       viewInfo
	    Display the	list of	strings	in info	in a  CDKVIEWER	 window.   The
	    number  of	strings	is given by size.  The title, buttons and but-
	    tonCount are applied to the	CDKVIEWER window.
