-These functions make it possible to set hook functions to be called at various

-The function \fBset_field_init\fR sets a hook to be called at form-post time
-and each time the selected field changes (after the change). \fBfield_init\fR
-returns the current field init hook, if any (\fBNULL\fR if there is no such
-hook).

+\fBForm_Hook field_init(const FORM *\fIform\fP);

-The function \fBset_field_term\fR sets a hook to be called at form-unpost time
-and each time the selected field changes (before the change). \fBfield_term\fR
-returns the current field term hook, if any (\fBNULL\fR if there is no such
-hook).

-The function \fBset_form_init\fR sets a hook to be called at form-post time and
-just after a page change once it is posted. \fBform_init\fR returns the
-current form init hook, if any (\fBNULL\fR if there is no such hook).
