+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The slk* functions manipulate the set of soft function-key labels that exist on
+many terminals.  For those terminals that do not have soft labels,
+\fBcurses\fR takes over the bottom line of \fBstdscr\fR, reducing the size of
+\fBstdscr\fR and the variable \fBLINES\fR.  \fBcurses\fR standardizes on eight
+labels of up to eight characters each. In addition to this, the ncurses
+implementation supports a mode where it simulates 12 labels of up to five
+characters each. This is most common for todays PC like enduser devices.
+Please note that ncurses simulates this mode by taking over up to two lines at
+the bottom of the screen, it does not try to use any hardware support for this
+mode.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_init\fR routine must be called before \fBinitscr\fR or \fBnewterm\fR
+is called.  If \fBinitscr\fR eventually uses a line from \fBstdscr\fR to
+emulate the soft labels, then \fIfmt\fR determines how the labels are arranged
+on the screen.  Setting \fIfmt\fR to \fB0\fR indicates a 3-2-3 arrangement of
+the labels, \fB1\fR indicates a 4-4 arrangement and \fB2\fR indicates the
+PC like 4-4-4 mode. If \fBfmt\fR is set to \fB3\fR, it is again the PC like
+4-4-4 mode, but in addition an index line is generated, helping the user to
+identify the key numbers easily.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_set\fR routine requires \fIlabnum\fR to be a label number,
+from \fB1\fR to \fB8\fR (resp. \fB12\fR); \fIlabel\fR must be the string
+to be put on the label, up to eight (resp. five) characters in length.
+A null string or a null pointer sets up a blank label. \fIfmt\fR is either
+\fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, or \fB2\fR, indicating whether the label is  to be
+left-justified, centered, or right-justified, respectively, within the
+label.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_refresh\fR and \fBslk_noutrefresh\fR routines correspond to
+the \fBwrefresh\fR and \fBwnoutrefresh\fR routines.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_label\fR routine returns the current label for label number
+\fIlabnum\fR, with leading and trailing blanks stripped.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_clear\fR routine clears the soft labels from the screen.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_restore\fR routine restores the soft labels to the screen
+after a \fBslk_clear\fR has been performed.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_touch\fR routine forces all the soft labels to be output
+the next time a \fBslk_noutrefresh\fR is performed.
+.PP
+The \fBslk_attron\fR, \fBslk_attrset\fR, \fBslk_attroff\fR and \fBslk_attr\fR
+routines correspond to \fBattron\fR, \fBattrset\fR, \fBattroff\fR and \fBattr_get\fR.
+They have an effect only if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of
+the screen.  The default highlight for soft keys is A_STANDOUT (as in
+System V curses, which does not document this fact).
+.PP
+The \fBslk_color\fR routine corresponds to \fBcolor_set\fR. It has an effect only
+if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of the screen.
+.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These routines return \fBERR\fR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an
+integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no error conditions.

+.RE
+.SH NOTES
+Most applications would use \fBslk_noutrefresh\fR because a
+\fBwrefresh\fR is likely to follow soon.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these functions.  It changes the
+argument type of the attribute-manipulation functions \fBslk_attron\fR,
+\fBslk_attroff\fR, \fBslk_attrset\fR to be \fBattr_t\fR, and adds \fBconst\fR
+qualifiers. The format codes \fB2\fR and \fB3\fR for \fBslk_init()\fR and the
+function \fBslk_attr\fR are specific to ncurses.
