69 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
70 These functions make it possible to set hook functions to
71 be called at various points in the automatic processing of
72 input event codes by <STRONG>form_driver</STRONG>.
74 The function <STRONG>set_field_init</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at
75 form-post time and each time the selected field changes
76 (after the change). <STRONG>field_init</STRONG> returns the current field
77 init hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).
79 The function <STRONG>set_field_term</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at
80 form-unpost time and each time the selected field changes
81 (before the change). <STRONG>field_term</STRONG> returns the current field
82 term hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).
84 The function <STRONG>set_form_init</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at
85 form-post time and just after a page change once it is
86 posted. <STRONG>form_init</STRONG> returns the current form init hook, if
87 any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).
89 The function <STRONG>set_form_term</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at
90 form-unpost time and just before a page change once it is
91 posted. <STRONG>form_init</STRONG> returns the current form term hook, if
92 any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).
95 </PRE>
96 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
97 Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. Other
98 routines return one of the following:
100 <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
102 <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
103 System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).

114 file <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>.

118 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>

120 were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
