       NAME
             menu_post: post_menu, unpost_menu - write or erase menus from
             associated subwindows

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lmenu -lcurses [library . . .]
             #include <menu.h>
             int post_menu(MENU *menu);
             int unpost_menu(MENU *menu);

       DESCRIPTION
             post_menu writes menu to the subwindow.  The application
             programmer must use curses library routines to display the
             menu on the physical screen or call update_panels if the
             panels library is being used.

             unpost_menu erases menu from its associated subwindow.

       RETURN VALUE
             These routines return one of the following:
                         E_OK            - The routine returned successfully.
                         E_SYSTEM_ERROR  - System error.
                         E_BAD_ARGUMENT  - An incorrect argument was passed to the routine.
                         E_POSTED        - The menu is already posted.
                         E_BAD_STATE     - The routine was called from an initialization or
                                           termination function.
                         E_NO_ROOM       - The menu does not fit within its subwindow.
                         E_NOT_POSTED    - The menu has not been posted.
                         E_NOT_CONNECTED - No items are connected to the menu.
