       fieldback, setfieldpad, fieldpad - format 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 attribute 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 attribute 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 undefined.

       setfieldfore, setfieldback and setfieldpad return one of the
       following:
       EOK           - The function returned successfully.
       ESYSTEMERROR - System error.
       EBADARGUMENT - An argument is incorrect.
