form_field(3X)                                                form_field(3X)
       form_field - make and break connections between fields and forms
       #include <form.h>
       int set_form_fields(FORM *form, FIELD **fields);
       FIELD **form_fields(const FORM *form);
       int field_count(const FORM *form);
       int move_field(FIELD *field, int frow, int fcol);
       The function set_form_fields changes the field pointer array of the
       given form.  The array must be terminated by a NULL.
       The function form_fields returns the field array of the given form.
       The function field_count returns the count of fields in form.
       The function move_field moves the given field (which must be
       disconnected) to a specified location on the screen.
       The function form_fields returns a pointer (which may be NULL).  It
       does not set errno.
       The function field_count returns ERR if the form parameter is NULL.
       The functions set_form_fields and move_field return one of the
       following codes on error:
       E_OK The routine succeeded.
       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
       E_CONNECTED
            The field is already connected to a form.
       E_POSTED
            The form is already posted.
       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error occurred (see errno).
       curses(3X), form(3X).
       The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
       <curses.h>.
       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not
       supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
       The SVr4 forms library documentation specifies the field_count error
       value as -1 (which is the value of ERR).
