53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The function
55.Fn form_opts
56returns the current options that are set on the given form.
57The
58.Fn form_opts_off
59will turn off the form options given in
60.Fa options
61for the form, similarly,
62.Fn form_opts_on
63will turn on the options specified in
64.Fa options
65for the given form.
66The form options can be set to an explicit set by calling
67.Fn set_form_opts .

76form.
77.It O_NL_OVERLOAD
78If this option is set and the cursor is at the end of the field then
79the new line character will perform the same function as a
80REQ_NEXT_FIELD driver request, moving to the next field in the form.
