NAME
       ckkeywd - prompts for and validates a keyword

SYNOPSIS
       ckkeywd [-Q] [-W width] [-d default] [-h help] [-e error]
	    [-p prompt] [-k pid [-s signal]] keyword [...]

DESCRIPTION
       ckkeywd	prompts	 a  user and validates the response. It defines, among
       other things, a prompt message whose response should be one  of a  list
       of  keywords,  text  for	 help  and error messages, and a default value
       (which will be returned if the user responds with a  carriage  return).
       The  answer  returned  from  this command must match one of the defined
       list of keywords.

       All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and	are  formatted
       automatically.  Any  white space used in the definition (including new‐
       line) 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 mes‐
       sage (as defined under NOTES) will be displayed.

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.

       -h help	     Defines the help messages as  help.

       -k pid	     Specifies	that process  ID pid is to be sent a signal if
		     the user chooses to abort.

       -p prompt     Defines the prompt message as prompt.

       -Q	     Specifies that quit  will	not  be	 allowed  as  a	 valid
		     response.

       -s signal     Specifies	that  the  process  ID pid defined with the -k
		     option is to be sent signal  signal when quit is  chosen.
		     If no signal is specified, SIGTERM is used.

       -W width	     Specifies	that  prompt,  help and error messages will be
		     formatted to a line length of width.

OPERANDS
       The following operand is supported:

       keyword	  Defines the keyword, or list of keywords, against which  the
		  answer will be verified.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0    Successful execution.

       1    EOF	 on input, or negative width on -W option, or no keywords from
