       #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

       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.
