   NAME
         formfieldinfo:  fieldinfo, dynamicfieldinfo - get forms field
         characteristics

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <form.h>

         int fieldinfo(FIELD *field, int *rows, int *cols,
               int *frow, int *fcol, int *nrow, int *nbuf);
         int dynamicfieldinfo(FIELD *field, int *drows, int *dcols,
               int *max);

   DESCRIPTION
         fieldinfo returns the size, position, and other named field
         characteristics, as defined in the original call to newfield, to the
         locations pointed to by the arguments rows, cols, frow, fcol, nrow,
         and nbuf.

         dynamicfieldinfo returns the actual size of the field in the
         pointer arguments drows, dcols and returns the maximum growth allowed
         for field in max.  If no maximum growth limit is specified for field,
         max will contain 0.  A field can be made dynamic by turning off the
         field option OSTATIC.

         EOK           - The function returned successfully.
