47 \fBint form_opts_off(FORM *\fIform\fB, Field_Options \fIopts\fB);\fR
50 The function \fBset_form_opts\fP sets all the given form's option bits (form
51 option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).
53 The function \fBform_opts_on\fP turns on the given option bits, and leaves
56 The function \fBform_opts_off\fP turns off the given option bits, and leaves
59 The function \fBform_opts\fP returns the form's current option bits.
61 The following options are defined (all are on by default):
64 Overload the \fBREQ_NEW_LINE\fP forms driver request so that calling it at the
65 end of a field goes to the next field.
68 Overload the \fBREQ_DEL_PREV\fP forms driver request so that calling it at the
69 beginning of a field goes to the previous field.
71 Except for \fBform_opts\fP, each routine returns one of the following:
74 The routine succeeded.
77 System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)).
79 \fBcurses\fP(3X), \fBform\fP(3X).
81 The header file \fB<form.h>\fP automatically includes the header file
84 These routines emulate the System V forms library.
