      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.

      following:
      E_OK           - The function returned successfully.
      E_SYSTEM_ERROR - System error.
