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.

   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).

   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).

   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).

   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 return one of the
       following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

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

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not supported on  Version  7
       or BSD versions.
