.SH DESCRIPTION
Every form field has a field that can be used to hold application-specific data
-(that is, the form-driver code leaves it alone). These functions get and set
+(that is, the form-driver code leaves it alone).
+These functions get and set
that field.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-The function \fBfield_userptr\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error. The function
-\fBset_field_userptr\fR returns one of the following:
-.TP 5
-\fBE_OK\fR
-The routine succeeded.
-.TP 5
-\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
-System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).

-.SH NOTES
-The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
-\fB<curses.h>\fR.
+The function \fBfield_userptr\fP returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fP).
+It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
