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	crite‐
		       ria.

       -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  cho‐
		       sen. 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 which to choose, or usage error.
