curs_border(3X) MISCELLANEOUS LIBRARY FUNCTIONS curs_border(3X)
NAME
curs_border: border, wborder, box, whline, 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 char-
acter 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 cur-
sor position is not changed. The line is at most n charac-
ters 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.
