<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>border</STRONG>, <STRONG>wborder</STRONG> and <STRONG>box</STRONG> routines draw a box around the
edges of a window. Other than the window, each argument
is a character with attributes:
<EM>ls</EM> - left side,
<EM>rs</EM> - right side,
<EM>ts</EM> - top side,
<EM>bs</EM> - bottom side,
<EM>tl</EM> - top left-hand corner,
<EM>tr</EM> - top right-hand corner,
<EM>bl</EM> - bottom left-hand corner, and
<EM>br</EM> - bottom right-hand corner.
If any of these arguments is zero, then the corresponding
default values (defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>) are used instead:
<STRONG>ACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_ULCORNER</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_URCORNER</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_LLCORNER</STRONG>,
<STRONG>ACS_LRCORNER</STRONG>.
<STRONG>box(</STRONG><EM>win</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>)</STRONG> is a shorthand for the following
call: <STRONG>wborder(</STRONG><EM>win</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>0,</STRONG> <STRONG>0,</STRONG> <STRONG>0,</STRONG>
<STRONG>0)</STRONG>.
The <STRONG>hline</STRONG> and <STRONG>whline</STRONG> functions draw a horizontal (left to
right) line using <EM>ch</EM> starting at the current cursor posi-
tion in the window. The current cursor position is not
changed. The line is at most <EM>n</EM> characters long, or as
many as fit into the window.
The <STRONG>vline</STRONG> and <STRONG>wvline</STRONG> functions draw a vertical (top to
bottom) line using <EM>ch</EM> starting at the current cursor posi-
tion in the window. The current cursor position is not
changed. The line is at most <EM>n</EM> characters long, or as
many as fit into the window.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
All routines return the integer <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. The SVr4.0 manual
says "or a non-negative integer if <STRONG>immedok</STRONG> is set", but
this appears to be an error.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. This imple-
mentation returns an error if the window pointer is null.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
The borders generated by these functions are <EM>inside</EM> bor-
ders (this is also true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is
not documented).
Note that <STRONG>border</STRONG> and <STRONG>box</STRONG> may be macros.
</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4. The standard specifies that they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on
failure, but specifies no error conditions.
