+<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
+ <B>form_field_new</B> - create and destroy form fields
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+ <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;form.h&gt;</B>
+ FIELD *new_field(int height, int width,
+ int toprow, int leftcol,
+ int offscreen, int nbuffers);
+ FIELD *dup_field(FIELD *field, int toprow, int leftcol);
+ FIELD *link_field(FIELD *field, int toprow, int leftcol);
+ int free_field(FIELD *field);
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The function <B>new_field</B> allocates a new field and initial-
+ izes it from the parameters given: height, width, row of
+ upper-left corner, column of upper-left corner, number
+ off-screen rows, and number of additional working buffers.
+
+ The function <B>dup_field</B> duplicates a field at a new loca-
+ tion. Most attributes (including current contents, size,
+ validation type, buffer count, growth threshold, justifi-
+ cation, foreground, background, pad character, options,
+ and user pointer) are copied. Field status and the field
+ page bit are not copied.
+
+ The function <B>link_field</B> acts like <B>dup_field</B>, but the new
+ field shares buffers with its parent. Attribute data is
+ separate.
+
+ The function <B>free_field</B> de-allocates storage associated
+ with a field.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ The function, <B>new_field</B>, <B>dup_field</B>, <B>link_field</B> return <B>NULL</B>
+ on error.
+
+ The function <B>free_field</B> returns one of the following:
+
+ <B>E_OK</B> The routine succeeded.
+
+ <B>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</B>
+ System error occurred (see <B>errno</B>).
+
+ <B>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</B>
+ Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
+ ment.

+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ The header file <B>&lt;form.h&gt;</B> automatically includes the header
+ file <B>&lt;curses.h&gt;</B>.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ These routines emulate the System V forms library. They
+ were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
+
+ It may be unwise to count on the set of attributes copied
+ by <B><A HREF="dup_field.3x.html">dup_field(3x)</A></B> being portable; the System V forms
+ library documents are not very explicit on what gets
+ copied and was not.
