.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <menu.h>
.Ft int
.Fn post_menu "MENU *menu"
.Ft int
.Fn unpost_menu "MENU *menu"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn post_menu
function causes the menu to be drawn on the screen. Any functions
defined by either
.Xr set_menu_init
or
.Xr set_item_init
are called before the menu is placed on the screen. The
.Fn unpost_menu
does the opposite, it removes a menu from the screen. Any functions
defined by both
.Xr set_menu_term
and
.Xr set_item_term
are called prior to the menu's removal.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The functions return one of the following error values:
.Pp
.ta 20
.nf

E_SYSTEM_ERROR There was a system error during the call.

E_BAD_STATE The function was called from within an initialisation
or termination routine.
