NAME
       form_field_buffer,  set_field_buffer,  field_buffer,  set_field_status,
       field_status, set_max_field - set and get forms field attributes

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

       int set_field_buffer(FIELD *field, int buf, char *value);

       char *field_buffer(FIELD *field, int buf);

       int set_field_status(FIELD *field, int status);

       int field_status(FIELD *field);

       int set_max_field(FIELD *field, int max);

DESCRIPTION
       set_field_buffer() sets buffer buf of field to value. Buffer  0	stores
       the  displayed contents of the field. Buffers other than 0 are applica‐
       tion specific and not used by the forms	library	 routines.  field_buf‐
       fer() returns the value of field buffer buf.

       Every field has an associated status flag that is set whenever the con‐
       tents of field buffer 0 changes.	 set_field_status()  sets  the	status
       flag of field to status. field_status() returns the status of field.

       set_max_field()	sets  a maximum growth on a dynamic field, or if max=0
       turns off any maximum growth.

RETURN VALUES
       field_buffer() returns NULL on error.

       field_status() returns TRUE or FALSE.

       set_field_buffer(), set_field_status(), and set_max_field() return  one
       of the following:

       E_OK		       Thefunction returned successfully.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR	       System error

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT	       An argument is incorrect.
