SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lform  -lcurses	[ library... ]
       #include <form.h>

       int set_field_fore(FIELD *field, chtype attr);

       chtype field_fore(FIELD *field);

       int set_field_back(FIELD *field, chtype attr);

       chtype field_back(FIELD *field);

       int set_field_pad(FIELD *field, int pad);

       int field_pad(FIELD *field);

DESCRIPTION

       set_field_fore() sets the foreground attribute of field. The foreground attribute is the low-level curses display attribute used to display
       the field contents. field_fore() returns the foreground attribute of field.

       set_field_back() sets the background attribute of field. The background attribute is the low-level curses display attribute used to display
       the extent of the field. field_back() returns the background attribute of field.

       set_field_pad() sets the pad character of field to pad. The pad character is the character used	to  fill  within  the  field.  field_pad()
       returns the pad character of field.

RETURN VALUES

       field_fore(),  field_back(), and field_pad() return default values if field is NULL. If field is not NULL and is not a valid FIELD pointer,
       the return value from these routines is undefined.

       set_field_fore(), set_field_back(), and set_field_pad() return one of the following:

       E_OK		 The function returned successfully.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR	 System error.

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT	 An argument is incorrect.
