#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.
