newpad(3cur)							  newpad(3cur)

Name
       newpad - create new pad

Syntax
       #include <cursesX.h>

       WINDOW ∗newpad(nlines, ncols)
       int nlines, ncols;

Description
       The  routine creates a new data structure.  A pad differs from a window
       in that it is not restricted by the screen size, and it is  not	neces‐
       sarily  associated  with	 a particular part of the screen.  Pads can be
       used when large windows are needed.  Only part of the pad  will	be  on
       the screen at any one time.

       Automatic  refreshes  of pads for example, from scrolling or echoing of
       input, do not occur.

       You cannot call the routine with a pad as an argument; use the routines
       or instead.

       Note  that  these two routines require additional parameters to specify
       both the part of the pad to be displayed and the	 screen	 location  for
       the display.

Return Values
       On  success  the function returns a pointer to the new WINDOW structure
       created.	 On failure the function returns a null pointer.
