.SH NAME
\fBform_post\fR - write or erase forms from associated subwindows
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <form.h>\fR
.br
int post_form(FORM *form);
.br
int unpost_form(FORM *form);
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
The function \fBpost_form\fR displays a form to its associated subwindow. To
trigger physical display of the subwindow, use \fBrefresh\fR or some equivalent
\fBcurses\fR routine (the implicit \fBdoupdate\fR triggered by an \fBcurses\fR
input request will do).
The function \fBunpost_form\fR erases form from its associated subwindow.
.SH RETURN VALUE
These routines return one of the following:
.TP 5
\fBE_OK\fR
The routine succeeded.
.TP 5
\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
.TP 5
\fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fR
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
.TP 5
\fBE_POSTED\fR
The form has already been posted.
.TP 5
\fBE_BAD_STATE\fR
Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
.TP 5
\fBE_NO_ROOM\fR
Form is too large for its window.
.TP 5
\fBE_NOT_POSTED\fR
The form has not been posted.
.TP 5
\fBE_NOT_CONNECTED\fR
No items are connected to the form.
.SH SEE ALSO
\fBcurses\fR(3), \fBform\fR(3).
.SH NOTES
The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
\fB<curses.h>\fR.
.SH PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on
Version 7 or BSD versions.
