NAME
       form_post  -  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  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_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
	    Routine  detected  an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
	    ment.

       E_POSTED
	    The form has already been posted.

       E_BAD_STATE
	    Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
	    tion function.

       E_NO_ROOM
	    Form is too large for its window.

       E_NOT_POSTED
	    The form has not been posted.

       E_NOT_CONNECTED

NOTES

       file <curses.h>.
