This is the highlight used to display the field contents. The function \fBfield_fore\fR returns the foreground attribute. The default is \fBA_STANDOUT\fR. The function \fBset_field_back\fR sets the background attribute of \fIform\fR. This is the highlight used to display the extent fields in the form. The function \fBfield_back\fR returns the background attribute. The default is \fBA_NORMAL\fR. The function \fBset_field_pad\fR sets the character used to fill the field. The function \fBfield_pad\fR returns the given form's pad character. The default is a blank. .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\fR automatically includes the header file \fB\fR. .SH PORTABILITY These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. .SH AUTHORS Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S.
