form_cursor(3X)                                              form_cursor(3X)

NAME top

       pos_form_cursor - position a form window cursor

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <form.h>
       int pos_form_cursor(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION top

       The function pos_form_cursor restores the cursor to the position
       required for the forms driver to continue processing requests.  This
       is useful after curses routines have been called to do screen-
       painting in response to a form operation.

RETURN VALUE top

       This routine returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

       E_NOT_POSTED
            The form has not been posted.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error occurred (see errno(3)).

SEE ALSO top

       curses(3X), form(3X).

NOTES top

       The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
       <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY top

       These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not
       supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
