53*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Sh DESCRIPTION
54*a0e6850fSThomas CortThe
55*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Fn field_count
56*a0e6850fSThomas Cortfunction returns the number of fields that are attached to the given
57*a0e6850fSThomas Cortform, if the form argument passed is
58*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Dv NULL
59*a0e6850fSThomas Cortthen
60*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Fn field_count
61*a0e6850fSThomas Cortwill return \-1.
62*a0e6850fSThomas CortThe function
63*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Fn form_fields
64*a0e6850fSThomas Cortwill return a pointer to array of attach fields for the given form,
65*a0e6850fSThomas Cortthis array is not
66*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Dv NULL
67*a0e6850fSThomas Cortterminated, fields may be attached to the given
68*a0e6850fSThomas Cortform by calling
69*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Fn set_form_fields .
70*a0e6850fSThomas CortThe
71*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Fa fields
72*a0e6850fSThomas Cortargument in this function is a pointer to a
73*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Dv NULL
74*a0e6850fSThomas Cortterminated array of
75*a0e6850fSThomas Cortfields that will be attached to the form.
76*a0e6850fSThomas CortIf there are already fields attached to the form then they will be
77*a0e6850fSThomas Cortdetached before the new fields are attached.
78*a0e6850fSThomas CortThe new fields given must not be attached to any other form.
79*a0e6850fSThomas CortThe
80*a0e6850fSThomas Cort.Fn move_field
81*a0e6850fSThomas Cortfunction will move the given field to the location specified by
