int set_field_fore(FIELD *field, chtype attr);

chtype field_fore(FIELD *field);

int set_field_back(FIELD *field, chtype attr);

chtype field_back(FIELD *field);

int set_field_pad(FIELD *field, int pad);

set_field_fore() sets the foreground attribute of field. The foreground attribute is the low-level curses display attribute used to display the field contents. field_fore() returns the foreground attribute of field.

set_field_back() sets the background attribute of field. The background attribute is the low-level curses display attribute used to display the extent of the field. field_back() returns the background attribute of field.

set_field_pad() sets the pad character of field to pad. The pad character is the character used to fill within the field. field_pad() returns the pad character of field.

field_fore(), field_back(), and field_pad() return default values if field is NULL. If field is not NULL and is not a valid FIELD pointer, the return value from these routines is undefined.

set_field_fore(), set_field_back(), and set_field_pad() return one of the following: E_OK

E_SYSTEM_ERROR E_BAD_ARGUMENT
