post_form, unpost_form - write or erase forms from associated
subwindows
#include <form.h>
int post_form(FORM *form);
int unpost_form(FORM *form);
The function post_form displays a form to its associated
subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow, use
refresh(3X) or some equivalent curses routine (the implicit
doupdate triggered by an curses input request will do).
The function unpost_form erases form from its associated
subwindow.
These routines return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_BAD_STATE
Routine was called from an initialization or termination
function.
E_NOT_POSTED
The form has not been posted.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the form.
E_NO_ROOM
Form is too large for its window.
E_POSTED
The form has already been posted.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno(3)).
curses(3X), form(3X).
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
<curses.h>.
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
