These functions make it possible to set hook functions to be called at
various points in the automatic processing of input event codes by
form_driver.
The function set_field_init sets a hook to be called at form-post time
and each time the selected field changes (after the change).
field_init returns the current field init hook, if any (NULL if there
is no such hook).
The function set_field_term sets a hook to be called at form-unpost
time and each time the selected field changes (before the change).
field_term returns the current field term hook, if any (NULL if there
is no such hook).
The function set_form_init sets a hook to be called at form-post time
and just after a page change once it is posted. form_init returns the
current form init hook, if any (NULL if there is no such hook).
The function set_form_term sets a hook to be called at form-unpost time
and just before a page change once it is posted. form_init returns the
current form term hook, if any (NULL if there is no such hook).
Routines that return pointers return NULL on error. Other routines
return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno(3)).
curses(3x), form(3x).
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
<curses.h>.
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
