form_post() -- write or erase forms from associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS

#include <form.h>

int post_form(FORM *form);

int unpost_form(FORM *form);

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.
