The argument \fIls\fR is a character and attributes used +for the left side of the border, \fIrs\fR - right side, \fIts\fR - top side, +\fIbs\fR - bottom side, \fItl\fR - top left-hand corner, \fItr\fR - top +right-hand corner, \fIbl\fR - bottom left-hand corner, and \fIbr\fR - bottom +right-hand corner. If any of these arguments is zero, then the following +default values (defined in \fBcurses.h\fR) are used instead: \fBACS_VLINE\fR, +\fBACS_VLINE\fR, \fBACS_HLINE\fR, \fBACS_HLINE\fR, \fB\fBACS_ULCORNER\fR, +\fBACS_URCORNER\fR, \fBACS_BLCORNER\fR, \fBACS_BRCORNER\fR. + +\fBbox(\fR\fIwin\fR\gB, \fR\fIverch\fR\fB, \fR\fIhorch\fR\fB)\fR is a shorthand +for the following call: \fBwborder(\fR\fIwin\fR\fB,\fR \fIverch\fR\fB,\fR +\fIverch\fR\fB,\fR \fIhorch\fR\fB,\fR \fIhorch\fR\fB, 0, 0, 0, 0)\fR. + +The \fBhline\fR and \fBwhline\fR functions draw a horizontal (left to right) +line using \fIch\fR starting at the current cursor position in the window. The +current cursor position is not changed. The line is at most \fIn\fR characters +long, or as many as fit into the window. + +The \fBvline\fR and \fBwvline\fR functions draw a vertical (top to bottom) line +using \fIch\fR starting at the current cursor position in the window. The +current cursor position is not changed. The line is at most \fIn\fR characters +long, or as many as fit into the window. +.SH RETURN VALUE +All routines return the integer \fBOK\fR. The SVr4.0 manual says "or a +non-negative integer if \fBimmedok\fR is set", but this appears to be an error. +.SH NOTES +The borders generated by these functions are \fIinside\fR borders (this +is also true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is not documented). + +Note that \fBborder\fR and \fBbox\fR may be macros. +.SH PORTABILITY +These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. Additional +functions \fBmvhline\fR, \fBmvvline\fR, \fBmvwhline\fR, and \fBmvwvline\fR are +described there which this implementation does not yet support. The standard +specifies that they return \fBERR\fR on failure, but specifies no error +conditions. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_outopts\fR(3X). +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: |
