curs_scroll(3X)                                   curs_scroll(3X)



NAME
     curs_scroll:  scroll, srcl, wscrl - scroll a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int scroll(WINDOW *win);
     int scrl(int n);
     int wscrl(WINDOW *win, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     With the scroll routine, the window is scrolled up one line.
     This involves moving the lines in the window data structure.
     As an optimization, if the scrolling region of the window is
     the entire screen, the physical screen is scrolled at the
     same time.

     With the scrl and wscrl routines, for positive n scroll the
     window up n lines (line i+n becomes i); otherwise scroll the
     window down n lines.  This involves moving the lines in the
     window character image structure.  The current cursor posi-
     tion is not changed.

     For these functions to work, scrolling must be enabled via
     scrollok.

RETURN VALUE
     All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an
     integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

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

     Note that scrl and scroll may be macros.
