       ripoffline - reserve screen line for dedicated purpose

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       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 nega-
		tive).

       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.
