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
       #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.

       The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header files
       <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
