# Trf\_SetOption(3)

Interface to procedures to define the value of an option.

## NAME

Trf\_SetOption - Interface to procedures to define the value of an option.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<transform.h\>**

**int Trf\_SetOption**\
 **(**\
\
 	**Trf\_Options options,**\
\
 	**Tcl\_Interp \*interp,**\
\
 	**const char \*optname,**\
\
 	**const char \*optvalue,**\
\
 	**ClientData clientData**\
 **);**

## PARAMETERS

- **Trf\_Options options**

  Container to place the value into.

- **Tcl\_Interp \*interp**

  Interpreter for error messages (NULL possible).

- **const char \*optname**

  Name of option to define.

- **const char \*optvalue**

  Value to set into the container.

- **ClientData clientData**

  Arbitrary information, as defined in Trf\_TypeDefinition.clientData.

## DESCRIPTION

The procedure takes the specified optionname (rejecting illegal ones) and places the given optionvalue into the container. All necessary conversions from a string to the required type should be done here. Return value is a standard tcl error code. In case of failure and interp not NULL an error message should be left in the result area of the specified interpreter.
