newpad(3cur)															      newpad(3cur)

Name
       newpad - create new pad

Syntax
       #include <cursesX.h>

       WINDOW *newpad(nlines, ncols)
       int nlines, ncols;

Description
       The  routine creates a new data structure.  A pad differs from a window in that it is not restricted by the screen size, and it is not nec-
       essarily associated with a particular part of the screen.  Pads can be used when large windows are needed.  Only part of the pad will be on
       the screen at any one time.

       Automatic refreshes of pads for example, from scrolling or echoing of input, do not occur.

       You cannot call the routine with a pad as an argument; use the routines or instead.

       Note  that these two routines require additional parameters to specify both the part of the pad to be displayed and the screen location for
       the display.

Return Values
       On success the function returns a pointer to the new WINDOW structure created.  On failure the function returns a null pointer.
