     setfieldback,  fieldback, setfieldpad, fieldpad - for-

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lform  -lcurses  [ library... ]
     #include 

     int setfieldfore(FIELD *field, chtype attr);


     chtype fieldfore(FIELD *field);


     int setfieldback(FIELD *field, chtype attr);


     chtype fieldback(FIELD *field);


     int setfieldpad(FIELD *field, int pad);


     int fieldpad(FIELD *field);


DESCRIPTION
     setfieldfore() sets the foreground attribute of field. The
     foreground  attribute is the low-level curses display attri-
     bute  used  to  display  the  field  contents.  fieldfore()
     returns the foreground attribute of field.


     setfieldback() sets the background attribute of field. The
     background  attribute is the low-level curses display attri-
     bute used to display the extent of the  field.  fieldback()
     returns the background attribute of field.


     setfieldpad() sets the pad character of field to pad.  The
     pad  character  is  the  character  used  to fill within the
     field. fieldpad() returns the pad character of field.

RETURN VALUES
     fieldfore(), fieldback(), and fieldpad()  return  default
     values  if  field is NUL. If field is not NUL and is not a
     valid FIELD pointer, the return value from these routines is
     undefined.
