 100        The <STRONG>border_set</STRONG> and <STRONG>wborder_set</STRONG>  functions  draw  a  border
 101        around  the  edges  of  the  current  or specified window.
 102        These functions do not change the cursor position, and  do
 103        not wrap.
 104
 105        Other  than the window, each argument is a complex charac-
 106        ter with attributes:
 107               <EM>ls</EM> - left side,
 108               <EM>rs</EM> - right side,
 109               <EM>ts</EM> - top side,
 110               <EM>bs</EM> - bottom side,
 111               <EM>tl</EM> - top left-hand corner,
 112               <EM>tr</EM> - top right-hand corner,
 113               <EM>bl</EM> - bottom left-hand corner, and
 114               <EM>br</EM> - bottom right-hand corner.
 115
 116        If any of these arguments is zero, then the  corresponding
 117        default values (defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>) are used instead:
 118               <STRONG>WACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
 119               <STRONG>WACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
 120               <STRONG>WACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
 121               <STRONG>WACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
 122               <STRONG>WACS_ULCORNER</STRONG>,
 123               <STRONG>WACS_URCORNER</STRONG>,
 124               <STRONG>WACS_LLCORNER</STRONG>, and
 125               <STRONG>WACS_LRCORNER</STRONG>.
 126
 127        <STRONG>box_set(</STRONG><EM>win</EM>, <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>);</STRONG> is a shorthand for the follow-
 128        ing call:
 129
 130        <STRONG>wborder_set(</STRONG><EM>win</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG>
 131            <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL);</STRONG>
 132
 133        The <STRONG>*line_set</STRONG> functions use <EM>wch</EM> to draw a line starting at
 134        the current cursor position in the window.  The line is at
 135        most <EM>n</EM> characters long or as many as fit into the  window.
 136        The current cursor position is not changed.
 137
 138        The  <STRONG>hline_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwhline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>whline_set</STRONG>
 139        functions draw a line proceeding toward the last column of
 140        the same line.
 141
 142        The  <STRONG>vline_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvvline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwvline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>wvline_set</STRONG>
 143        functions draw a line proceeding toward the last  line  of
 144        the window.
 145

 148        Note that <STRONG>border_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>hline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvvline_set</STRONG>,
 149        <STRONG>mvwhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwvline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>vline_set</STRONG> may be macros.

 151
 152 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
 153        Upon successful completion,  these  functions  return  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.
 154        Otherwise, they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
 155
 156        Functions  using  a window parameter return an error if it
 157        is null.
 158
 159        Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
 160        ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
 161        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
