Miscellaneous Library Functions                     menu_post(3X)



NAME
     menu_post - write or erase menus from associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
     int post_menu(MENU *menu);
     int unpost_menu(MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION
     The function post_menu displays a  menu  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).
     post_menu resets the selection status of all items.

     The function unpost_menu erases  menu  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 argument.

     E_POSTED
          The menu has already been posted.

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

     E_NO_ROOM
          Menu is too large for its window. You  should  consider
          to use set_menu_format() to solve the problem.

     E_NOT_POSTED
          The menu has not been posted.

     E_NOT_CONNECTED
          No items are connected to the menu.
