FIELD *new_field(int height, int width,
int toprow, int leftcol,
int offscreen, int nbuffers);
int free_field(FIELD *field);
-</PRE>
-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The function <B>new_field</B> allocates a new field and initial-
- izes it from the parameters given: height, width, row of
- upper-left corner, column of upper-left corner, number
- off-screen rows, and number of additional working buffers.
-
- The function <B>dup_field</B> duplicates a field at a new loca-
- tion. Most attributes (including current contents, size,
- validation type, buffer count, growth threshold, justifi-
- cation, foreground, background, pad character, options,
- and user pointer) are copied. Field status and the field
- page bit are not copied.
-
- The function <B>link_field</B> acts like <B>dup_field</B>, but the new
- field shares buffers with its parent. Attribute data is
- separate.
-
- The function <B>free_field</B> de-allocates storage associated
- with a field.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- The function, <B>new_field</B>, <B>dup_field</B>, <B>link_field</B> return <B>NULL</B>
- on error.
-
- The function <B>free_field</B> returns one of the following:
-
- <B>E_OK</B> The routine succeeded.
-
- <B>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</B>
- System error occurred (see <B>errno</B>).
-
- <B>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</B>
- Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
- ment.

-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- The header file <B><form.h></B> automatically includes the header
- file <B><curses.h></B>.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- These routines emulate the System V forms library. They
- were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
-
- It may be unwise to count on the set of attributes copied
- by <B><A HREF="dup_field.3x.html">dup_field(3x)</A></B> being portable; the System V forms
- library documents are not very explicit on what gets
- copied and was not.
