.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn post_form
|
||
|
|
function performs the actions necessary to present the form on the
|
||
|
|
curses screen.
|
||
|
|
If there are any init functions that need to be called
|
||
|
|
then they will be called prior to the form being posted and the cursor
|
||
|
|
will be positioned on the first active field that can be visited.
|
||
|
|
Conversely, the function
|
||
|
|
.Fn unpost_form
|
||
|
|
removes the form from the screen and calls any termination functions
|
||
|
|
that were specified.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
The functions will return one of the following error values:
