curs_border(3X)					  curs_border(3X)

NAME
       border,	wborder,  box, hline, whline, vline, wvline, mvh-
       line, mvwhline, mvvline, mvwvline - 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);
       mvhline(int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);
       mvwhline(WINDOW *, int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);
       int mvvline(int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);
       int mvwvline(WINDOW *, int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       The border, wborder and box routines draw a box around the
       edges of a window.  Other than the window,  each	 argument
       is a 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:
	      ACS_VLINE,
	      ACS_VLINE,
	      ACS_HLINE,
	      ACS_HLINE,
	      ACS_ULCORNER,
	      ACS_URCORNER,
	      ACS_LLCORNER,
	      ACS_LRCORNER.

       box(win, verch, horch) is a shorthand  for  the	following
       call:  wborder(win,  verch,  verch, horch, horch, 0, 0, 0,
       0).

       The hline and whline functions draw a horizontal (left  to
       right)  line using ch starting at the current cursor posi-
       tion 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.

       The vline and wvline functions draw  a  vertical	 (top  to
       bottom) line using ch starting at the current cursor posi-
       tion 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.   The  SVr4.0  manual
       says  "or  a  non-negative integer if immedok is set", but
       this appears to be an error.

NOTES
       The borders generated by these functions are  inside  bor-
       ders (this is also true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is
       not documented).

       Note that border and box may be macros.

PORTABILITY
       These functions are described in the XSI Curses	standard,
       Issue  4.   The standard specifies that they return ERR on
       failure, but specifies no error conditions.
