NAME
      cursborder:  border, wborder, box, hline, whline, vline, wvline - 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);

DESCRIPTION
      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: ACSVLINE, ACSVLINE, ACSHLINE, ACSHLINE,
      ACSULCORNER, ACSURCORNER, ACSBLCORNER, ACSBRCORNER.

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

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

      Note that border and box may be macros.
