  63        The function <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> displays a menu to its associated subwindow.  To
  64        trigger  physical  display  of  the  subwindow, use <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> or some
  65        equivalent <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine (the implicit <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> triggered by an <STRONG>curses</STRONG>
  66        input  request  will do).  <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> resets the selection status of all
  67        items.
  68
  69        The function <STRONG>unpost_menu</STRONG> erases menu from its associated subwindow.

  75        <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
  76
  77        <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
  78             System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno(3)</STRONG>).
  79
  80        <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
  81             Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
  82
  83        <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
  84             The menu has already been posted.
  85
  86        <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
  87             Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
  88
  89        <STRONG>E_NO_ROOM</STRONG>
  90             Menu is too large for  its  window.   You  should  consider  using
  91             <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> to solve the problem.
  92
  93        <STRONG>E_NOT_POSTED</STRONG>
  94             The menu has not been posted.
  95
  96        <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
  97             No items are connected to the menu.
