57.SH DESCRIPTION
58These are building blocks for the form library,
59defining fields that can be created using \fBset_fieldtype\fP(3X).
60Each provides functions for field- and character-validation,
61according to the given datatype.
62.SS TYPE_ALNUM
63This holds alphanumeric data.
64.SS TYPE_ALPHA
65This holds alphabetic data.
66.SS TYPE_ENUM
67This holds an enumerated type.
68.SS TYPE_INTEGER
69This holds a decimal integer.
70.SS TYPE_IPV4
71This holds an IPv4 internet address, e.g., "127.0.0.1".
72.SS TYPE_NUMERIC
73This holds a decimal number, with optional sign and decimal point.
74.SS TYPE_REGEXP
75This holds a regular expression.
76.SH PORTABILITY
77The \fBTYPE_IPV4\fP variable is an extension not provided by older
78implementations of the form library.
