NAME
form_cursor - position a form window cursor
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>

int pos_form_cursor(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
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
This routine returns one of the following:

5 E_OK The routine succeeded.

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

5 E_NOT_POSTED The form has not been posted.

5 E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error occurred (see errno). .

SEE ALSO
curses(3X), form(3X).
NOTES
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
