NAME

     free_form, new_form -- form library

LIBRARY

     Curses Form Library (libform, -lform)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <form.h>

     int
     free_form(FORM *form);

     FORM *
     new_form(FIELD **fields);

DESCRIPTION

     The function free_form() frees all the resources associated with the form and destroys the form.  Calling new_form() will create a new form,
     set the form parameters to the current defaults and attach the passed fields to the form.	The array of fields passed to new_form() must be
     terminated with a NULL pointer to indicate the end of the fields.

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.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT	The function was passed a bad argument.
     E_POSTED		The form is posted to the screen.

NAME

       form_new, new_form, free_form - create and destroy forms

SYNOPSIS

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

       FORM *new_form(FIELD **fields);

       int free_form(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION

       new_form() creates a new form connected to the designated fields and returns a pointer to the form.

       free_form() disconnects the form from its associated field pointer array and deallocates the space for the form.

RETURN VALUES

       new_form() always returns NULL on error. free_form() returns one of the following:

       E_OK		       The function returned successfully.

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT	       An argument is incorrect.

       E_POSTED 	       The form is posted.
