DESCRIPTION

21       field_info() returns the size, position, and other named field  charac‐
22       teristics, as defined in the original call to new_field(), to the loca‐
23       tions pointed to by the arguments rows, cols,  frow,  fcol,  nrow,  and
24       nbuf.

26
27       dynamic_field_info()  returns  the  actual  size  of  the  field in the
28       pointer arguments drows, dcols and returns the maximum  growth  allowed
29       for  field  in  max. If no maximum growth limit is specified for field,
30       max will contain 0. A field can be made  dynamic  by  turning  off  the
31       field option O_STATIC.
