NAME
       ffoorrmmffiieelldduusseerrppttrr - associate application data with a form field

SYNOPSIS
       ##iinncclluuddee <>
       int setfielduserptr(FIELD *field, void*userptr);
       void *fielduserptr(const FIELD *field);

DESCRIPTION
       Every  form field has a field that can be used to hold application-spe-
       cific data (that is, the form-driver  code  leaves  it  alone).   These
       functions get and set that field.

NNOOTTEESS
       The  header  file  <>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <>.

PPOORRTTAABBIILLIITTYY
       These  routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The user pointer should be a void pointer.   We  leave  it  as  a  char
       pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
