<B>overlay</B>, <B>overwrite</B>, <B>copywin</B> - overlay and manipulate over-

</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <B>overlay</B> and <B>overwrite</B> routines overlay <I>srcwin</I> on top
of <I>dstwin</I>. <I>scrwin</I> and <I>dstwin</I> are not required to be the
same size; only text where the two windows overlap is
copied. The difference is that <B>overlay</B> is non-destructive
(blanks are not copied) whereas <B>overwrite</B> is destructive.
The <B>copywin</B> routine provides a finer granularity of con-
trol over the <B>overlay</B> and <B>overwrite</B> routines. Like in the
<B>prefresh</B> routine, a rectangle is specified in the destina-
tion window, (<I>dminrow</I>, <I>dmincol</I>) and (<I>dmaxrow</I>, <I>dmaxcol</I>),
and the upper-left-corner coordinates of the source win-
dow, (<I>sminrow</I>, <I>smincol</I>). If the argument <I>overlay</I> is <B>true</B>,
then copying is non-destructive, as in <B>overlay</B>.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
Routines that return an integer return <B>ERR</B> upon failure,
and <B>OK</B> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
<B>ERR</B>") upon successful completion.
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
Note that <B>overlay</B> and <B>overwrite</B> may be macros.
</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions
(adding the const qualifiers). It further specifies their
behavior in the presence of characters with multi-byte
renditions (not yet supported in this implementation).
