The function 60.Fn form_fields 61will return a pointer to array of attach fields for the given form, 62this array is not NULL terminated, fields may be attached to the given 63form by calling 64.Fn set_form_fields . 65The 66.Fa fields 67argument in this function is a pointer to a NULL terminated array of 68fields that will be attached to the form. If there are already fields 69attached to the form then they will be detached before the new fields 70are attached. The new fields given must not be attached to any other 71form. The 72.Fn move_field 73function will move the given field to the location specified by 74.Fa frow 75and 76.Fa fcol . 77.Sh RETURN VALUES 78Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected. 79The functions that return an int will return one of the following error 80values: 81.Pp 82.Bl -tag -width E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND -compact 83.It Er E_OK 84The function was successful. 85.It Er E_CONNECTED 86The field is connected to a form. 87.It Er E_POSTED 88The form is currently posted to the screen. 89.It Er E_BAD_ARGUMENT 90The function was passed a bad argument. 91.El 92.Sh SEE ALSO 93.Xr curses 3 , 94.Xr forms 3 95.Sh NOTES 96The header 97.Pa \*[Lt]form.h\*[Gt] 98automatically includes both 99.Pa \*[Lt]curses.h\*[Gt] 100and 101.Pa \*[Lt]eti.h\*[Gt] . 102
