<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>form_hook</STRONG> - set hooks for automatic invocation by applica-
       tions


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG>
       int set_field_init(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
       Form_Hook field_init(const FORM *form);
       int set_field_term(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
       Form_Hook field_term(const FORM *form);
       int set_form_init(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
       Form_Hook form_init(const FORM *form);
       int set_form_term(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
       Form_Hook form_term(const FORM *form);


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       These functions make it possible to set hook functions  to
       be called at various points in the automatic processing of
       input event codes by <STRONG>form_driver</STRONG>.

       The function <STRONG>set_field_init</STRONG> sets a hook to  be  called  at
       form-post  time  and  each time the selected field changes
       (after the change).  <STRONG>field_init</STRONG> returns the current  field
       init hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).

       The  function  <STRONG>set_field_term</STRONG>  sets a hook to be called at
       form-unpost time and each time the selected field  changes
       (before the change).  <STRONG>field_term</STRONG> returns the current field
       term hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).

       The function <STRONG>set_form_init</STRONG> sets a hook  to  be  called  at
       form-post  time  and  just  after a page change once it is
       posted.  <STRONG>form_init</STRONG> returns the current form init hook,  if
       any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).

       The  function  <STRONG>set_form_term</STRONG>  sets  a hook to be called at
       form-unpost time and just before a page change once it  is
       posted.   <STRONG>form_init</STRONG> returns the current form term hook, if
       any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such hook).


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error.  Other
       routines return one of the following:

       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.

       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).

<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       The header file <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG> automatically includes the header
       file <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These routines emulate the System V forms  library.   They
       were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
