.SH DESCRIPTION
These are building blocks for the form library,
-defining fields that can be created using \fBset_fieldtype\fP(3X).
+defining fields that can be created using
+the \fBform_fieldtype\fP(3X) functions.
Each provides functions for field- and character-validation,
according to the given datatype.
.SS TYPE_ALNUM
The \fBTYPE_IPV4\fP variable is an extension not provided by older
implementations of the form library.
