+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function \fBpost_form\fP displays a form to its associated subwindow.
+To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
+use \fB\%refresh\fP(3NCURSES) or some equivalent
+\fBcurses\fP routine (the implicit \fBdoupdate\fP triggered by an \fBcurses\fP
+input request will do).

+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These routines return one of the following:
+.TP 5
+.B E_OK
+The routine succeeded.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
+Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_STATE
+Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
+.TP 5
+.B E_NOT_POSTED
+The form has not been posted.
+.TP 5
+.B E_NOT_CONNECTED
+No items are connected to the form.
+.TP 5
+.B E_NO_ROOM
+Form is too large for its window.
+.TP 5
+.B E_POSTED
+The form has already been posted.
+.TP 5
+.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
+System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)).
