curs_border(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	   curs_border(3)

NAME
     border, wborder, box, hline, whline, vline, wvline, mvhline,
     mvwhline, mvvline, mvwvline - create curses borders,
     horizontal and vertical lines

SYNOPSIS
     #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);
     mvhline(int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);
     mvwhline(WINDOW *, int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);
     int mvvline(int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);
     int mvwvline(WINDOW *, int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     The border, wborder and box routines draw a box  around  the
     edges of a window. Other than the window, each argument is a
     character with attributes:
	  ls - left side,
	  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  corresponding
     default values (defined in curses.h) are used instead:
	  ACS_VLINE,
	  ACS_VLINE,
	  ACS_HLINE,
	  ACS_HLINE,
	  ACS_ULCORNER,
	  ACS_URCORNER,
	  ACS_LLCORNER,
	  ACS_LRCORNER.

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

     The hline and whline functions 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.

     The vline and wvline functions draw a vertical (top to  bot-
     tom)  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
     All routines return the integer OK.  The SVr4.0 manual  says
     "or  a non-negative integer if immedok is set", but this ap-
     pears to be an error.

     X/Open does not define any error conditions. This	implemen-
     tation returns an error if the window pointer is null.

NOTES
     The borders generated by these functions are inside  borders
     (this  is	also  true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is not
     documented).

     Note that border and box may be macros.

PORTABILITY
     These functions are described in the  XSI	Curses	standard,
     Issue  4.	The  standard  specifies  that they return ERR on
     failure, but specifies no error conditions.

SEE ALSO
     curses(3), curs_outopts(3).
