The following options are defined (all are on by default):
O_NL_OVERLOAD

at the end of a field goes to the next field.
O_BS_OVERLOAD

at the beginning of a field goes to the previous field.
Except for form_opts, each routine returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR

The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
