NAME

     field_back, field_fore, field_pad, set_field_back, set_field_fore, set_field_pad -- form library

LIBRARY

     Curses Form Library (libform, -lform)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <form.h>

     chtype
     field_back(FIELD *field);

     chtype
     field_fore(FIELD *field);

     int
     field_pad(FIELD *field);

     int
     set_field_back(FIELD *field, chtype attribute);

     int
     set_field_fore(FIELD *field, chtype attribute);

     int
     set_field_pad(FIELD *field, int pad);

DESCRIPTION

     Calling the function field_back() will return the character attributes that will be applied to a field that is not the current field, these
     attributes can be set by the set_field_back() function.  The field_fore() function returns the character attributes that will be used to
     indicate that a field is the currently active one on the form, this attribute may be set by using the set_field_fore() function.  The pad
     character for a field is the character that will be printed in all field locations not occupied with actual field contents.  The pad charac-
     ter can be retrieved by calling the field_pad() function, the pad character is set by using the set_field_pad() function.

RETURN VALUES

     Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.  The functions that return an int will return one of the following
     error values:

     E_OK		The function was successful.
