menu_post(3X) Library calls menu_post(3X) NAME post_menu, unpost_menu - write or erase menus from associated subwindows SYNOPSIS #include <menu.h> int post_menu(MENU *menu); int unpost_menu(MENU *menu); DESCRIPTION The function post_menu displays a menu to its associated subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow, use refresh(3X) or some equiva- lent curses routine (the implicit doupdate triggered by an curses input re- quest will do). post_menu resets the selection status of all items. The function unpost_menu erases menu from its associated subwindow. RETURN VALUE These routines return one of the following: E_OK The routine succeeded. E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error occurred (see errno(3)). E_BAD_ARGUMENT Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. E_POSTED The menu has already been posted. E_BAD_STATE Routine was called from an initialization or termination function. E_NO_ROOM Menu is too large for its window. You should consider using set_menu_format to solve the problem. E_NOT_POSTED The menu has not been posted. E_NOT_CONNECTED No items are connected to the menu. PORTABILITY These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. AUTHORS Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.
