Homebrew How do software keyboards work on 3DS?

[ivt18]

I am using devKit pro to make some simple 3DS apps. In the example code provided by the software, I see how software keyboards can be called, but I don't understand how the functions work. I'd be glad if someone could explain to me what the parameters necessary for the functions are, or if someone could link to a website that explains it. Here is the code from the example that shows how to call a numpad input:

swkbdInit(&swkbd, SWKBD_TYPE_NUMPAD, 1, 8);
            swkbdSetPasswordMode(&swkbd, SWKBD_PASSWORD_HIDE_DELAY);
            swkbdSetValidation(&swkbd, SWKBD_ANYTHING, 0, 0);
            swkbdSetFeatures(&swkbd, SWKBD_FIXED_WIDTH);
            swkbdSetNumpadKeys(&swkbd, L'ツ', L'益');
            button = swkbdInputText(&swkbd, mybuf, sizeof(mybuf));

Thanks in advance.

You should ask questions on the sticky development thread, it'll be easier for the developers to see that you need help.
