NAME
       form_hook - set hooks for automatic invocation by applications

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<form.h>

       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);

DESCRIPTION
       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).

RETURN VALUE
       Routines	that return pointers return NULL on error.  Other routines re-
       turn one	of the following:

       E_OK The	routine	succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno(3)).

SEE ALSO
       curses(3X), form(3X).

NOTES
       The  header  file  <form.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY
       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They	were not  sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
