SYNOPSIS

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

       int field_info(FIELD *field, int *rows, int *cols, int *frow, int *fcol, int *nrow, int *nbuf);

       int dynamic_field_info(FIELD *field, int *drows, int *dcols, int *max);

DESCRIPTION

       field_info()  returns  the  size,  position,  and other named field characteristics, as defined in the original call to new_field(), to the
       locations pointed to by the arguments rows, cols, frow, fcol, nrow, and nbuf.

       dynamic_field_info() returns the actual size of the field in the pointer arguments drows, dcols and returns the maximum growth allowed  for
       field  in max.  If no maximum growth limit is specified for field, max will contain 0. A field can be made dynamic by turning off the field
       option O_STATIC.
