form_post

FORMS(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						  FORMS(3)

NAME

     post_form, unpost_form -- form library

LIBRARY

     Curses Form Library (libform, -lform)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <form.h>

     int
     post_form(FORM *form);

     int
     unpost_form(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION

     The post_form() function performs the actions necessary to present the form on the curses screen.	If there are any init functions that need
     to be called then they will be called prior to the form being posted and the cursor will be positioned on the first active field that can be
     visited.  Conversely, the function unpost_form() removes the form from the screen and calls any termination functions that were specified.

RETURN VALUES

     The functions will return one of the following error values:

     E_OK		The function was successful.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT	A bad argument was passed to the function.
     E_POSTED		The form is already posted to the screen.
     E_NOT_POSTED	The form was not posted to the screen.
     E_NOT_CONNECTED	There are no fields associated with the form.
     E_BAD_STATE	The function was called from within a init or term function.

NOTES

     The header <form.h> automatically includes both <curses.h> and <eti.h>.
