       NAME
             form_field_attributes:  set_field_fore, field_fore,
             set_field_back, field_back, set_field_pad, field_pad - format
             the general display attributes of forms

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lform -lcurses [library . . .]
             #include <form.h>
             int set_field_fore(FIELD *field, chtype attr);
             chtype field_fore(FIELD *field);
             int set_field_back(FIELD *field, chtype attr);
             chtype field_back(FIELD *field);
             int set_field_pad(FIELD *field, int pad);
             int field_pad(FIELD *field);

       DESCRIPTION
             set_field_fore sets the foreground attribute of field.  The
             foreground attribute is the low-level curses display attribute
             used to display the field contents.  field_fore returns the
             foreground attribute of field.

             set_field_back sets the background attribute of field.  The
             background attribute is the low-level curses display attribute
             used to display the extent of the field.  field_back returns
             the background attribute of field.

             set_field_pad sets the pad character of field to pad.  The pad
             character is the character used to fill within the field.
             field_pad returns the pad character of field.

       RETURN VALUE
             field_fore, field_back and field_pad 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.

             set_field_fore, set_field_back and set_field_pad return one of
             the following:
             E_OK           - The function returned successfully.
             E_SYSTEM_ERROR - System error.
             E_BAD_ARGUMENT - An argument is incorrect.

             eti.h and curses.h.
