# unibi\_set\_name(3)

access the name of a terminal object

## NAME

unibi\_get\_name, unibi\_set\_name - access the name of a terminal object

## SYNOPSIS

```
 #include <unibilium.h>

 const char *unibi_get_name(const unibi_term *ut);
 void unibi_set_name(unibi_term *ut, const char *s);
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"unibi_get_name"` gets the name from *ut*; `"unibi_set_name"` sets the name to *s*.

Note that `"unibi_set_name"` simply stores the pointer it is given; it will not free *s* or make a copy of the string.

## RETURN VALUE

`"unibi_get_name"` returns a pointer to the name of the terminal; this either comes from a terminfo entry (the part after the last '\|' in the name section) or was set by `"unibi_set_name"`.
