+.SH NAME
+\fBform_field_new\fR - create and destroy form fields
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <form.h>\fR
+.br
+FIELD *new_field(int height, int width,
+ int toprow, int leftcol,
+ int offscreen, int nbuffers);
+.br
+FIELD *dup_field(FIELD *field, int toprow, int leftcol);
+.br
+FIELD *link_field(FIELD *field, int toprow, int leftcol);
+.br
+int free_field(FIELD *field);
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function \fBnew_field\fR allocates a new field and initializes it from the
+parameters given: height, width, row of upper-left corner, column of upper-left
+corner, number off-screen rows, and number of additional working buffers.
+.PP
+The function \fBdup_field\fR duplicates a field at a new location. Most
+attributes (including current contents, size, validation type, buffer count,
+growth threshold, justification, foreground, background, pad character,
+options, and user pointer) are copied. Field status and the field page bit are
+not copied.
+.PP
+The function \fBlink_field\fR acts like \fBdup_field\fR, but the new field
+shares buffers with its parent. Attribute data is separate.
+.PP
+The function \fBfree_field\fR de-allocates storage associated with a field.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The function, \fBnew_field\fR, \fBdup_field\fR, \fBlink_field\fR return
+\fBNULL\fR on error.
+They set errno according to their success:
+.TP 5
+.B E_OK
+The routine succeeded.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
+Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
+.TP 5
+.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
+System error occurred, e.g., malloc failure.
+.PP
+The function \fBfree_field\fR returns one of the following:
+.TP 5
+.B E_OK
+The routine succeeded.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
+Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
+.TP 5
+.B E_CONNECTED
+field is connected.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBform\fR(3X).
+.SH NOTES
+The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
+\fB<curses.h>\fR.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on
+Version 7 or BSD versions.
+.PP
+It may be unwise to count on the set of attributes copied by
+\fBdup_field\fR being portable; the System V forms library documents are
+not very explicit about what gets copied and what does not.
