.Sh DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
The
 | 
						|
.Fn current_field
 | 
						|
returns a pointer to the structure for the field that is currently
 | 
						|
active on the page.
 | 
						|
If there is an error,
 | 
						|
.Fn current_field
 | 
						|
will return
 | 
						|
.Dv NULL .
 | 
						|
Calling
 | 
						|
.Fn field_index
 | 
						|
will return the index of the given field in the form field array.
 | 
						|
The
 | 
						|
current page the form is on can be determined by using
 | 
						|
.Fn form_page ,
 | 
						|
the current page of a form can be programmatically set by calling
 | 
						|
.Fn set_form_page .
 | 
						|
The maximum page number for a form can be found by
 | 
						|
calling the function
 | 
						|
.Fn form_max_page
 | 
						|
but note that this function is a
 | 
						|
.Nx
 | 
						|
extension and must not be used in portable forms library programs.
 | 
						|
The current field on the form may be set by calling
 | 
						|
.Fn set_current_field
 | 
						|
which will set the current field to the one given.
 | 
						|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
 | 
						|
Functions returning pointers will return
 | 
						|
.Dv NULL
 | 
						|
if an error is detected.
 | 
						|
The functions that return an int will return one of the following
 | 
						|
error values:
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
.Bl -tag -width E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND -compact
 | 
						|
.It Er E_OK
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
.It Er E_BAD_ARGUMENT
 | 
						|
