       form_opts - set and get form options

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <form.h>
       int set_form_opts(FORM *form, OPTIONS opts);
       int form_opts_on(FORM *form, OPTIONS opts);
       int form_opts_off(FORM *form, OPTIONS opts);
       OPTIONS form_opts(const FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  function set_form_opts sets all the given form's option bits (form
       option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).

       The function form_opts_on turns on the given option  bits,  and	leaves
       others alone.

       The  function form_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves
       others alone.

       The function form_opts returns the form's current option bits.

       The following options are defined (all are on by default):

       O_NL_OVERLOAD
	    Overload the REQ_NEW_LINE forms driver request so that calling  it
	    at the end of a field goes to the next field.

       O_BS_OVERLOAD
	    Overload  the REQ_DEL_PREV forms driver request so that calling it
	    at the beginning of a field goes to the previous field.
