       int hline(chtype ch, int n);

       int mvhline(int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);

       int mvvline(int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);

       int mvwhline(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);

       int mvwvline(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype ch, int n);

       int vline(chtype ch, int n);

       int whline(WINDOW *win, chtype ch, int n);

       int wvline(WINDOW *win, chtype ch, int n);

DESCRIPTION

       The hline(), vline(), whline(), wvline() functions  draw a horizontal or vertical line, in either the window stdscr or win  starting at the
       current cursor position. The line is drawn using the character ch and is a maximum of n positions long, or as many as  will  fit  into  the
       window.	If ch is 0 (zero), the default horizontal or vertical character is used.

       The  mvhline(),	mvvline(), mvwhline(), mvwvline()  functions are similar to the previous group of functions but the line begins  at cursor
       position specified by x and y.

       The functions with names ending with hline() draw horizontal lines proceeding towards the last column of the same line. The functions  with
       names ending with vline() draw vertical lines proceeding towards the last column of the same line.

       These functions do not change the position of the cursor.

PARAMETERS

       ch     Is the character used to draw the line.

       n      Is the maximum number of characters in the line.

       y      Is the y (row) coordinate for the start of the line.

       x      Is the x (column) coordinate for the start of the line.

       win    Is a pointer to a window.

RETURN VALUES

       On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

       None
