To use the <STRONG>form</STRONG> + library, link with the options <STRONG>-lform</STRONG> <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG>. + + + <STRONG>Current</STRONG> <STRONG>Default</STRONG> <STRONG>Values</STRONG> <STRONG>for</STRONG> <STRONG>Field</STRONG> <STRONG>Attributes</STRONG> + The <STRONG>form</STRONG> library maintains a default value for field + attributes. You can get or set this default by calling + the appropriate <STRONG>set_</STRONG> or retrieval routine with a <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> + field pointer. Changing this default with a <STRONG>set_</STRONG> function + affects future field creations, but does not change the + rendering of fields already created. + + + <STRONG>Routine</STRONG>
