NAME
     formfieldattributes:      setfieldfore,      fieldfore,
     setfieldback,  fieldback, setfieldpad, fieldpad - for-
     mat the general display attributes of forms

SYNOPSIS
     #include <form.h>

     int setfieldfore(FIELD *field, chtype attr);
     chtype fieldfore(FIELD *field);

     int setfieldback(FIELD *field, chtype attr);
     chtype fieldback(FIELD *field);
     int setfieldpad(FIELD *field, int pad);
     int fieldpad(FIELD *field);

DESCRIPTION
     setfieldfore sets the foreground attribute of field.   The
     foreground  attribute is the low-level curses display attri-
     bute used to display the field contents.  fieldfore returns
     the foreground attribute of field.

     setfieldback sets the background attribute of field.   The
     background  attribute is the low-level curses display attri-
     bute used to display the extent of  the  field.   fieldback
     returns the background attribute of field.

     setfieldpad sets the pad character of field to  pad.   The
     pad  character  is  the  character  used  to fill within the
     field.  fieldpad returns the pad character of field.

RETURN VALUE
     fieldfore, fieldback and fieldpad return  default  values
     if  field  is NULL.  If field is not NULL and is not a valid
     FIELD pointer, the return value from these routines is unde-
     fined.   setfieldfore,  setfieldback  and  setfieldpad
     return one of the following:
     E_OK           - The function returned successfully.
     E_SYSTEM_ERROR - System error.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT - An argument is incorrect.

     The header file <form.h> automatically includes  the  header
     files <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
