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.

     E_OK           - The function returned successfully.
