User Commands ckgid(1)
NAME
ckgid, errgid, helpgid, valgid - prompts for and validates a
group id
SYNOPSIS
ckgid [-Q] [-W width] [-m] [-d default] [-h help] [-e error]
[-p prompt] [ -k pid [-s signal]]
/usr/sadm/bin/errgid [-W width] [-e error]
/usr/sadm/bin/helpgid [-W width] [-m] [-h help]
/usr/sadm/bin/valgid input
DESCRIPTION
ckgid prompts a user and validates the response. It defines,
among other things, a prompt message whose response should
be an existing group ID, text for help and error messages,
and a default value (which will be returned if the user
responds with a carriage return).
All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and are
formatted automatically. Any white space used in the defini-
tion (including newline) is stripped. The -W option cancels
the automatic formatting. When a tilde is placed at the
beginning or end of a message definition, the default text
will be inserted at that point, allowing both custom text
and the default text to be displayed.
If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the
default message (as defined under NOTES) will be displayed.
Three visual tool modules are linked to the ckgid command.
They are errgid (which formats and displays an error mes-
sage), helpgid (which formats and displays a help message),
and valgid (which validates a response). These modules
should be used in conjunction with FML objects. In this
instance, the FML object defines the prompt.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d default Defines the default value as default. The
default is not validated and so does not
have to meet any criteria.
-e error Defines the error message as error.
