SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int hline_set(cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int mvhline_set(int y, int x, cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int mvvline_set(int y, int x, cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int mvwhline_set(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int mvwvline_set(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int vline_set(cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int whline_set(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *const wch, int n);

int wvline_set(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *const wch, int n);

DESCRIPTION

These functions draw a line in the current or specified window starting at the current or specified position, using ch. The line is at most n positions long, or as many as fit into the window.

These functions do not advance the cursor position. These functions do not perform special character processing. These functions do not perform wrapping.

The hline_set(), mvhline_set(), mvwhline_set() and whline_set() functions draw a line proceeding toward the last column of the same line.

The vline_set(), mvvline_set(), mvwvline_set() and wvline_set() functions draw a line proceeding toward the last line of the window.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.
