LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Interfaces  documented  on  this reference page conform to
       industry standards as follows:

       border, wborder, box, hline,  whline,  mvhline,  mvwhline,
       vline, wvline, mvvline, mvwvline:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information
 about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The border, wborder, and box routines draw a border around
       the  edges  of the window. Each of the following arguments
       contains both a character and attributes for a  particular
       part  of  the  border: Left side Right side Top Bottom Top
       left-hand corner Top right-hand  corner  Bottom  left-hand
       corner Bottom right-hand corner

       If  any of these arguments is zero, then the functions use
       the  following  default  values  (which  are  defined   in
       <curses.h>):  ACS_VLINE,  ACS_VLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_HLINE,
       ACS_ULCORNER,     ACS_URCORNER,     ACS_LLCORNER,      and
       ACS_LRCORNER.

       The call box(win, verch, horch); is equivalent to the following
 call:

       wborder(win, verch, verch, horch,
               horch, 0, 0, 0, 0);

       The hline, whline, mvhline, and mvwhline functions use  ch
       to draw a horizontal (left-to-right) line, starting at the
       current or specified cursor position  in  the  current  or
       specified  window.  The  current  cursor  position  is not
       changed. The line is at most n characters long, or as many
       characters as can fit into the window.

       The  vline, wvline, mvvline, and mvwvline functions use ch
       to draw a vertical (top-to-bottom) line, starting  at  the
       current  or  specified  cursor  position in the current or
       specified window.  The  current  cursor  position  is  not
       changed. The line is at most n characters long, or as many
       characters as can fit into the window.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       Note that border and box may be macros.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       All routines return OK on success or ERR on failure.
