SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <curses.h>

     int border(chtype ls, chtype rs, chtype ts, chtype	bs,
       chtype tl, chtype tr, chtype bl,	chtype br);
     int wborder(WINDOW	*win, chtype ls, chtype	rs,
       chtype ts, chtype bs, chtype tl,	chtype tr,
       chtype bl, chtype br);
     int box(WINDOW *win, chtype verch,	chtype horch);
     int hline(chtype ch, int n);
     int whline(WINDOW *win, chtype ch,	int n);
     int vline(chtype ch, int n);
     int wvline(WINDOW *win, chtype ch,	int n);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     With the border, wborder and box routines,	a border is drawn around the
     edges of the window.  The argument	ls is a	character and attributes used
     for the left side of the border, rs - right side, ts - top	side, bs -
     bottom side, tl - top left-hand corner, tr	- top right-hand corner, bl -
     bottom left-hand corner, and br - bottom right-hand corner.  If any of
     these arguments is	zero, then the following default values	(defined in
     curses.h) are used	instead: ACS_VLINE, ACS_VLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_HLINE,
     ACS_ULCORNER, ACS_URCORNER, ACS_BLCORNER, ACS_BRCORNER.

     box(win<b>, verch<b>, horch<b>) is a shorthand for the following call:
     wborder(win<b>, verch<b>, verch<b>,	horch<b>, horch<b>, 0, 0, 0, 0).

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

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

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

     All routines return the integer OK, or a non-negative integer if immedok
     is	set.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The header	file curses.h automatically includes the header	files stdio.h
     and unctrl.h.

     Note that border and box may be macros.
