cc [ flag... ] file... -lform -lcurses [ library... ] #include <form.h> int post_form(FORM *form); int unpost_form(FORM *form); DESCRIPTION
post_form() writes form into its associated subwindow. The application programmer must use curses library routines to display the form on the physical screen or call update_panels() if the panels library is being used. unpost_form() erases form from its associated subwindow. RETURN VALUES
These routines return one of the following: E_OK The function returned successfully. E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error. E_BAD_ARGUMENT An argument is incorrect. E_POSTED The form is posted. E_NOT_POSTED The form is not posted. E_NO_ROOM The form does not fit in the subwindow. E_BAD_STATE The routine was called from an initialization or termination function. E_NOT_CONNECTED The field is not connected to a form. ATTRIBUTES
