post_menu, unpost_menupost (draw) or unpost a menu

library “libmenu”

#include <menu.h>

int
post_menu(MENU *menu);

int
unpost_menu(MENU *menu);

The () function causes the menu to be drawn on the screen. Any functions defined by either () or () (see menu_hook(3)) are called before the menu is placed on the screen. The () does the opposite, it removes a menu from the screen. Any functions defined by both () and () (see menu_hook(3)) are called prior to the menu's removal.

The functions return one of the following error values:

E_OK
The function was successful.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
There was a system error during the call.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
One or more of the arguments passed to the function was incorrect.
E_POSTED
The menu is already posted.
E_BAD_STATE
The function was called from within an initialization or termination routine.
E_NO_ROOM
The menu does not fit within the subwindow.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
The item is not connected to a menu.
