DESCRIPTION

21       These are building blocks for the form library,  defining  fields  that
22       can  be  created using the form_fieldtype(3X) functions.  Each provides
23       functions for field- and character-validation, according to  the  given
24       datatype.
25
26   TYPE_ALNUM
27       This holds alphanumeric data.
28
29   TYPE_ALPHA
30       This holds alphabetic data.
31
32   TYPE_ENUM
33       This holds an enumerated type.
34
35   TYPE_INTEGER
36       This holds a decimal integer.
37
38   TYPE_IPV4
39       This holds an IPv4 internet address, e.g., "127.0.0.1".
40
41   TYPE_NUMERIC
42       This holds a decimal number, with optional sign and decimal point.
43
44   TYPE_REGEXP
45       This holds a regular expression.
46

PORTABILITY

48       The  TYPE_IPV4 variable is an extension not provided by older implemen‐
49       tations of the form library.
