SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
#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
With the border(), wborder(), and box() routines, a border is drawn
around the edges of the window. The arguments and attributes are:
ls left side of the border
rs right side of the border
ts top side of the border
bs bottom side of the border
tl top left-hand corner
tr top right-hand corner
bl bottom left-hand corner
br bottom right-hand corner
If any of these arguments is zero, then the following default values
(defined in <curses.h>) are used respectively instead: ACS_VLINE,
ACS_VLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_ULCORNER, ACS_URCORNER,
ACS_BLCORNER, ACS_BRCORNER.
box(win, verch, horch) is a shorthand for the following call:
wborder(win, verch, verch, horch, horch , 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 cur‐
sor 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 cur‐
sor position is not changed. The line is at most n characters long, or
as many as fit into the window.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer OK, or a non-negative integer if imme‐
dok() is set. See curs_outopts(3CURSES).
