NAME
     formfieldbuffer,      setfieldbuffer,      fieldbuffer,
     setfieldstatus,  fieldstatus, setmaxfield - set and get
     forms field attributes

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



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


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


     int setfieldstatus(FIELD *field, int status);


     int fieldstatus(FIELD *field);


     int setmaxfield(FIELD *field, int max);


DESCRIPTION
     setfieldbuffer() sets buffer buf of field to value. Buffer
     0  stores the displayed contents of the field. Buffers other
     than 0 are application specific and not used  by  the  forms
     library  routines. fieldbuffer() returns the value of field
     buffer buf.


     Every field has an associated status flag that is set  when-
     ever    the    contents   of   field   buffer   0   changes.
     setfieldstatus() sets the status flag of field to  status.
     fieldstatus() returns the status of field.


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

RETURN VALUES
     fieldbuffer() returns NUL on error.


     fieldstatus() returns TRUE or FALSE.


     setfieldbuffer(), setfieldstatus(), and  setmaxfield()
     return one of the following:
