The attributes are: height, width, row of +upper-left corner, column of upper-left corner, number off-screen rows, and +number of working buffers. + +The function \fBdynamic_field_info\fR returns the actual size of the field, and +its maximum possible size. If the field has no size limit, the location +addressed by the third argument will be set to 0. (A field can be made dynamic +by turning off the \fBO_STATIC\fR). +.SH RETURN VALUE +These routines return one of the following: +.TP 5 +\fBE_OK\fR +The routine succeeded. +.TP 5 +\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR +System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR). +.TP 5 +\fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fR +Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X) and related pages whose names begin "form_" for detailed +descriptions of the entry points. +.SH NOTES +The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file +\fB<curses.h>\fR. +.SH PORTABILITY +These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on +Version 7 or BSD versions. +.PP +A null (zero pointer) is accepted for any of the return values, +to ignore that value. +Not all implementations allow this, e.g., Solaris 2.7 does not. +.SH AUTHORS +Juergen Pfeifer.
