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
