field_info(3FORM) field_info(3FORM)
NAME
field_info - retrieve field characteristics
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>
int field_info(const FIELD *field, int *rows, int *cols,
int *frow, int *fcol, int *nrow, int *nbuf);
int dynamic_field_info(const FIELD *field, int *rows, int *cols, int *max);
DESCRIPTION
The function field_info returns the sizes and other attributes passed in to the field at
its creation time. The attributes are: height, width, row of upper-left corner, column of
upper-left corner, number off-screen rows, and number of working buffers.
The function dynamic_field_info returns the actual size of the field, and its maximum pos-
sible size. If the field has no size limit, the location addressed by the third argument
will be set to 0. A field can be made dynamic by turning off the O_STATIC option with
field_opts_off.
RETURN VALUE
These routines return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
SEE ALSO
ncurses(3NCURSES) and related pages whose names begin "form_" for detailed descriptions of
the entry points.
NOTES
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7
or BSD versions.
A null (zero pointer) is accepted for any of the return values, to ignore that value. Not
all implementations allow this, e.g., Solaris 2.7 does not.
