form_post(3X)							 form_post(3X)

NAME
       post_form,  unpost_form	- write	or erase forms from associated subwin-
       dows

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<form.h>

       int post_form(FORM *form);
       int unpost_form(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
       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.

RETURN VALUE
       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)).

SEE ALSO
       curses(3X), form(3X).

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

PORTABILITY
       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They	were not  sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
