NAME
     form_post - write or erase forms from associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
     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.

     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  termina-
          tion 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).
