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.

RETURN VALUE
      These routines return one of the following:
      E_OK           - The function returned successfully.
      E_SYSTEM_ERROR - System error.
      E_BAD_ARGUMENT - An argument is incorrect.

      and <curses.h>.
