others alone.
The function form_opts returns the form's current option bits.
The following options are defined (all are on by default):

at the end of a field goes to the next field.
O_BS_OVERLOAD
Overload the REQ_DEL_PREV forms driver request so that calling it
at the beginning of a field goes to the previous field.
RETURN VALUE
Except for form_opts, each routine returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
