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).
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>).

120 were not supported on Version
