       int ripoffline(int line, int (*init)(WINDOW *win, int width));

PARAMETERS

       line		       determines  whether  the  screen  line being reserved comes from the top of stdscr (line is positive) or the bottom
			       (line is negative).

       init		       Is a pointer to a function that initializes the one-line window.

       win		       Is a pointer to one-line window created by this function.

       width		       Is the number of columns in the window pointed to by the win parameter.

DESCRIPTION

       The ripoffline() function reserves a screen line as a one line window.

       To use this function, it must be called before you call initscr(3XCURSES) or newterm(3XCURSES). When initscr() or newterm() is  called,	so
       is the function pointed to by init. The function pointed to by init takes two arguments: a pointer to the one-line window and the number of
       columns in that window. This function cannot use the LINES or COLS variables and cannot call wrefresh(3XCURSES) or doupdate(3XCURSES),  but
       may call  wnoutrefresh(3XCURSES).

RETURN VALUES

       The rioffline() function always returns OK.

ERRORS

       None.
