<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <B>form_field</B> - make and break connections between fields and
       forms


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;form.h&gt;</B>
       int set_form_fields(FORM *form, FIELD **fields);
       FIELD **form_fields(const FORM *form);
       int field_count(const FORM *form);
       int move_field(FIELD *field, int frow, int fcol);


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       The function <B>set_form_fields</B>  changes  the  field  pointer
       array  of the given <I>form</I>.  The array must be terminated by
       a <B>NULL</B>.

       The function <B>form_fields</B> returns the field  array  of  the
       given form.

       The  function  <B>field_count</B>  returns the count of fields in
       <I>form</I>.

       The function <B>move_field</B> move the given field  (which  must
       be disconnected) to a specified location on the screen.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
       The function <B>form_fields</B> returns <B>NULL</B> on error.

       The  function  <B>field_count</B> returns <B>ERR</B> (the general <B>curses</B>
       error return value) on error.

       The functions <B>set_form_fields</B> and <B>move_field</B> return one of
       the following codes on error:

       <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.

       <B>E_POSTED</B>
            The form is already posted.

       <B>E_CONNECTED</B>
            The field is already connected to a form.

</PRE>
<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.

       The  SVr4  forms  library  documentation   specifies   the
       <B>field_count</B> error value as -1 (which is the value of <B>ERR</B>).
