curs_border_set(3)					     Library Functions Manual						curs_border_set(3)

NAME
curs_border_set, border_set, wborder_set, box_set, hline_set, whline_set, mvhline_set, mvwhline_set, vline_set, wvline_set, mvvline_set, mvwvline_set - Draw borders or lines by using complex characters and renditions SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h> int border_set( const cchar_t *ls, const cchar_t *rs, const cchar_t *ts, const cchar_t *bs, const cchar_t *tl, const cchar_t *tr, const cchar_t *bl, const cchar_t *br ); int wborder_set( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *ls, const cchar_t *rs, const cchar_t *ts, const cchar_t *bs, const cchar_t *tl, const cchar_t *tr, const cchar_t *bl, const cchar_t *br ); int box_set( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *verch, const cchar_t *horch ); int hline_set( const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int whline_set( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int mvhline_set( int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int mvwhline_set( WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int vline_set( const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int wvline_set( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int mvvline_set( int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch, int n ); int mvwvline_set( WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch, int n ); LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses) STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: border_set, wborder_set, box_set, hline_set, whline_set, mvhline_set, mvwhline_set, vline_set, wvline_set, mvvline_set, mvwv- line_set: XCURSES4.2 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
The border_set and wborder_set functions draw a border around the edges of the current or specified window. These functions do not advance the cursor position, do not perform special character processing, and do not perform wrapping. The arguments in the left-hand column of the following table contain spacing complex characters with renditions, which have the specified uses in drawing the border: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Argument Name Usage Default Value ----------------------------------------------------------------- ls Starting-column side WACS_VLINE rs Ending-column side WACS_VLINE ts First-line side WACS_HLINE bs Last-line side WACS_HLINE tl Corner of the first line and the WACS_ULCORNER starting column tr Corner of the first line and the WACS_URCORNER ending column bl Corner of the last line and the WACS_LLCORNER starting column br Corner of the last line and the WACS_LRCORNER ending column ----------------------------------------------------------------- If the value of any argument in the left-hand column of the table is a null pointer, then the default value in the right-hand column is used. If the value of any argument in the left-hand column of the table is a multicolumn character, the results are undefined. The box_set function draws a border around the edges of the specified window. This function does not advance the cursor position, does not perform special-character processing, and does not perform wrapping. The call box_set(win, verch, horch); is equivalent to the following call: wborder_set(win, verch, verch, horch, horch, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); The *line_set functions use wch to draw a line in the current or specified window, starting at the current or specified position. The line is at most n positions in length or as many positions as can fit into the window. These functions do not advance the cursor position, do not perform special-character processing, and do not perform wrapping. The hline_set, mvhline_set, mvwhline_set, and whline_set functions draw a line proceeding toward the last column of the same line. The vline_set, mvvline_set, mvwvline_set, and wvline_set functions draw a line proceeding toward the last line of the window. NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>. Note that border_set, hlines_set, mvhline_set, mvvline_set, mvwhline_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set may be macros. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. SEE ALSO
Functions: curses(3), curs_border(3), curs_outopts(3) Others: standards(5) curs_border_set(3)
