           The  function  form_request_by_name  searches  in  the name-table for a
           request with the given name and returns its  request  code.   Otherwise
           E_NO_MATCH is returned.

## RETURN VALUE

           form_request_name  returns  NULL on error and sets errno to E_BAD_ARGU-
           MENT.
           form_request_by_name returns E_NO_MATCH on  error.   It  does  not  set
           errno.

## PORTABILITY

           These routines are specific to ncurses.  They  were  not  supported  on
           Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended that any
           code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
