#include <form.h>
void (*)(FORM *)
field_init(FORM *form);
void (*)(FORM *)
field_term(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
The field_init() function returns a pointer to the function that will be
called just after the current field changes and just before the form is
posted, this function may be set by using the set_field_init() function.
Similarly, the function field_term() will return a pointer to the func‐
tion that will be called just before the current field changes and just
after the form is unposted, this function pointer may be set by using the
set_field_term() function. The form_init() function will return a
pointer to the function that will be called just before the form is
posted to the screen, this function can be set by calling the
set_form_init() function. The form_term() function will return a pointer
to the function that will be called just after the form is unposted from
the screen, this function may be set by using the set_form_term() func‐
tion. By default, the init and term function pointers are NULL.
RETURN VALUES
Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.
The functions that return an int will return one of the following error
values:
E_OK The function was successful.
