NAME
     form_hook - set hooks for automatic invocation  by  applica-
     tions

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
     int set_field_init(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
     Form_Hook field_init(const FORM *form);
     int set_field_term(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
     Form_Hook field_term(const FORM *form);
     int set_form_init(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
     Form_Hook form_init(const FORM *form);
     int set_form_term(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
     Form_Hook form_term(const FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions make it possible to set hook functions to be
     called  at  various  points  in  the automatic processing of
     input event codes by form_driver.

     The function set_field_init sets a  hook  to  be  called  at
     form-post  time  and  each  time  the selected field changes
     (after the change).  field_init returns  the  current  field
     init hook, if any (NULL if there is no such hook).

     The function set_field_term sets a  hook  to  be  called  at
     form-unpost  time  and  each time the selected field changes
     (before the change).  field_term returns the  current  field
     term hook, if any (NULL if there is no such hook).

     The function set_form_init sets  a  hook  to  be  called  at
     form-post  time  and  just  after  a  page change once it is
     posted.  form_init returns the current form  init  hook,  if
     any (NULL if there is no such hook).

     The function set_form_term sets  a  hook  to  be  called  at
     form-unpost  time  and  just before a page change once it is
     posted.  form_init returns the current form  term  hook,  if
     any (NULL if there is no such hook).

RETURN VALUE
     Routines that return pointers return NULL on  error.   Other
     routines return one of the following:

     E_OK The routine succeeded.

     E_SYSTEM_ERROR
          System error occurred (see errno).
