.Sh DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
The function
 | 
						|
.Fn field_opts
 | 
						|
returns the current options settings for the given field.
 | 
						|
The
 | 
						|
.Fn field_opts_off
 | 
						|
will turn the options given in
 | 
						|
.Fa options
 | 
						|
off for the given field, options not specified in
 | 
						|
.Fa options
 | 
						|
will remain unchanged.
 | 
						|
Conversely, the function
 | 
						|
.Fn field_opts_on
 | 
						|
will turn on the options given in
 | 
						|
.Fa options
 | 
						|
for the specified field, again, any options not specified will remain
 | 
						|
unchanged.
 | 
						|
The options for a field may be set to a specific set of
 | 
						|
options by calling the
 | 
						|
.Fn set_field_opts
 | 
						|
function.
 | 
						|
Options may only be changed if the field given is not the
 | 
						|
currently active one.
 | 
						|
.Sh PARAMETERS
 | 
						|
The following options are available for a field:
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
.Bl -tag -width O_REFORMAT -compact
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_VISIBLE
 | 
						|
The field is visible, hence is displayed when the form is posted.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_ACTIVE
 | 
						|
The field is active in the form, meaning that it can be visited during
 | 
						|
form processing.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_PUBLIC
 | 
						|
The contents of the field are echoed to the screen.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_EDIT
 | 
						|
The contents of the field can be modified
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_WRAP
 | 
						|
The contents of the field are wrapped on a word boundary, if this
 | 
						|
option is off then the field will be wrapped on a character boundary.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_BLANK
 | 
						|
Blank the field on new data being entered if and only if the field
 | 
						|
cursor is at the left hand side of the field.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_AUTOSKIP
 | 
						|
Skip to the next field when the current field reaches its maximum
 | 
						|
size.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_NULLOK
 | 
						|
The field is allowed to contain no data
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_STATIC

 | 
						|
.It Dv O_PASSOK
 | 
						|
An unmodified field is allowed.
 | 
						|
.It Dv O_REFORMAT
 | 
						|
Retain the formatting of a field when the buffer is retrieved.
 | 
						|
If this option is not set then the buffer returned will be a single string
 | 
						|
with no line breaks.
 | 
						|
When this option is set newline characters will be inserted at the point
 | 
						|
where the string has been wrapped in a multiline field.
 | 
						|
This option is an extension to the forms library and must not be used
 | 
						|
in portable code.
 | 
						|
See the
 | 
						|
.Xr field_buffer 3
 | 
						|
man page for how this option modifies the behaviour of
 | 
						|
.Fn field_buffer .
