NAME

curs_border: 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: 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 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.
