The graPHIGS Programming Interface : Subroutine Reference

GPQISF - Inquire Input Character Set Facilities

GPQISF (wstype, class, device, start, number, errind, ncsid, csid)

Note:

This subroutine is a Workstation Description Table (WDT) inquiry. For an overview, see "WDT Inquiries"

Purpose

Use GPQISF to inquire the character set identifiers that are supported for the specified input device on the specified workstation type.

The graPHIGS API returns data indicating the total number of available character sets and their character set identifiers.

If the information is available, then the graPHIGS API sets the error indicator to zero and returns the values in the output parameter. If the error indicator is 543 (the start value exceeds the extent of the available data), then only the total number (totnum) parameter is set. If the inquired information is unavailable, then the error indicator (errind) contains the error number indicating the reason, and the values returned in the output parameter are unpredictable.

Parameters

wstype -- specified by user, 8-byte character string

Workstation type.

class -- specified by user, fullword integer

Device class (1=LOCATOR, 2=STROKE, 3=VALUATOR, 4=CHOICE, 5=PICK, 6=STRING )

device -- specified by user, fullword integer

Device number.

start -- specified by user, fullword integer

Starting member of the list of character set identifiers (>=1)

number -- specified by user, fullword integer

Number of character set identifiers requested (>=0)

errind -- returned by the graPHIGS API, fullword integer

Error indicator. If the error indicator is zero, the request has been completed. Otherwise, one of the following errors exists:
23
SPECIFIED WORKSTATION TYPE DOES NOT EXIST
38
WORKSTATION HAS ONLY OUTPUT CAPABILITIES
140
DEVICE NUMBER < ONE OR DEVICE NOT AVAILABLE
328
INPUT CLASS VALUE IS INVALID
538
START VALUE < ONE
539
REQUESTED NUMBER < ZERO
543
START EXCEEDS DATA EXTENT. TOTAL NUMBER AVAILABLE RETURNED
548
SPECIFIED WORKSTATION TYPE CANNOT BE LOADED

ncsid -- returned by the graPHIGS API, fullword integer

Total number of character set identifiers supported.

csid -- returned by the graPHIGS API, array of fullword integers

List of supported character set identifiers.

See Appendix A. "Character Set and Font Identifiers" for more information.

The output array must be large enough to contain the requested data.
