LIBRARY

       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       border, wborder, box, hline, whline, mvhline, mvwhline, vline, wvline, mvvline, mvwvline:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION

       The border, wborder, and box routines draw a border around the edges of the window. Each of the following arguments contains both a charac-
       ter  and  attributes for a particular part of the border: Left side Right side Top Bottom Top left-hand corner Top right-hand corner Bottom
       left-hand corner Bottom right-hand corner

       If any of these arguments is zero, then the functions use the following default	values	(which	are  defined  in  <curses.h>):	ACS_VLINE,
       ACS_VLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_ULCORNER, ACS_URCORNER, ACS_LLCORNER, and ACS_LRCORNER.

       The call box(win, verch, horch); is equivalent to the following call:

       wborder(win, verch, verch, horch,
	       horch, 0, 0, 0, 0);

       The  hline,  whline, mvhline, and mvwhline functions use ch to draw a horizontal (left-to-right) line, starting at the current or specified
       cursor position in the current or specified window. The current cursor position is not changed. The line is at most n characters  long,	or
       as many characters as can fit into the window.

       The  vline,  wvline,  mvvline,  and mvwvline functions use ch to draw a vertical (top-to-bottom) line, starting at the current or specified
       cursor position in the current or specified window. The current cursor position is not changed. The line is at most n characters  long,	or
       as many characters as can fit into the window.

NOTES

       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

       Note that border and box may be macros.

RETURN VALUES

       All routines return OK on success or ERR on failure.
