SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int border_set(
	const cchar_t *ls, const cchar_t *rs,
	const cchar_t *ts, const cchar_t *bs,
	const cchar_t *tl, const cchar_t *tr,
	const cchar_t *bl, const cchar_t *br );
     int wborder_set(
	WINDOW *win,
	const cchar_t *ls, const cchar_t *rs,
	const cchar_t *ts, const cchar_t *bs,
	const cchar_t *tl, const cchar_t *tr,
	const cchar_t *bl, const cchar_t *br);
     int box_set(
	WINDOW *win,
	const cchar_t *verch,
	const cchar_t *horch);
     int hline_set(
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int whline_set(
	WINDOW *win,
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int mvhline_set(
	int y, int x,
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int mvwhline_set(
	WINDOW *win,
	int y, int x,
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int vline_set(
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int wvline_set(
	WINDOW *win,
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int mvvline_set(
	int y, int x,
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);
     int mvwvline_set(
	WINDOW *win,
	int y, int x,
	const cchar_t *wch, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     The border_set  and  wborder_set  functions  draw	a  border
     around  the  edges of the current or specified window. These

MirOS BSD #10-current	Printed 18.8.2011			1

curs_border_set(3)  UNIX Programmer's Manual   curs_border_set(3)

     functions do not change the  cursor  position,  and  do  not
     wrap.

     Other than the window, each argument is a complex	character
     with attributes:
	  ls - left side,
	  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  corresponding
     default values (defined in curses.h) are used instead:
	  WACS_VLINE,
	  WACS_VLINE,
	  WACS_HLINE,
	  WACS_HLINE,
	  WACS_ULCORNER,
	  WACS_URCORNER,
	  WACS_LLCORNER, and
	  WACS_LRCORNER.

     box_set(win, verch, horch); is a shorthand for the following
     call:

     wborder_set(win, verch, verch,
	 horch, horch, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

     The *line_set functions use wch to draw a line  starting  at
     the  current  cursor  position in the window. The line is at
     most n characters long or as many as fit  into  the  window.
     The current cursor position is not changed.

     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.

NOTES
     Note that border_set, hline_set,  mvhline_set,  mvvline_set,
     mvwhline_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Oth-
     erwise, they return ERR.
