To +trigger physical display of the subwindow, use \fBrefresh\fR or some equivalent +\fBcurses\fR routine (the implicit \fBdoupdate\fR triggered by an \fBcurses\fR +input request will do). + +The function \fBunpost_form\fR erases form from its associated subwindow. +.SH RETURN VALUE +These routines return one of the following: +.TP 5 +\fBE_OK\fR +The routine succeeded. +.TP 5 +\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR +System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR). +.TP 5 +\fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fR +Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. +.TP 5 +\fBE_POSTED\fR +The form has already been posted. +.TP 5 +\fBE_BAD_STATE\fR +Routine was called from an initialization or termination function. +.TP 5 +\fBE_NO_ROOM\fR +Form is too large for its window. +.TP 5 +\fBE_NOT_POSTED\fR +The form has not been posted. +.TP 5 +\fBE_NOT_CONNECTED\fR +No items are connected to the form. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBform\fR(3X). +.SH NOTES +The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file +\fB<curses.h>\fR. +.SH PORTABILITY +These routines emulate the System V forms library.
