  98 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  99        The <STRONG>border_set</STRONG> and <STRONG>wborder_set</STRONG>  functions  draw  a  border
 100        around  the  edges  of  the  current  or specified window.
 101        These functions do not change the cursor position, and  do
 102        not wrap.
 103        Other  than the window, each argument is a complex charac-
 104        ter with attributes:
 105               <EM>ls</EM> - left side,
 106               <EM>rs</EM> - right side,
 107               <EM>ts</EM> - top side,
 108               <EM>bs</EM> - bottom side,
 109               <EM>tl</EM> - top left-hand corner,
 110               <EM>tr</EM> - top right-hand corner,
 111               <EM>bl</EM> - bottom left-hand corner, and
 112               <EM>br</EM> - bottom right-hand corner.
 113
 114        If any of these arguments is zero, then the  corresponding
 115        default values (defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>) are used instead:
 116               <STRONG>WACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
 117               <STRONG>WACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
 118               <STRONG>WACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
 119               <STRONG>WACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
 120               <STRONG>WACS_ULCORNER</STRONG>,
 121               <STRONG>WACS_URCORNER</STRONG>,
 122               <STRONG>WACS_LLCORNER</STRONG>, and
 123               <STRONG>WACS_LRCORNER</STRONG>.
 124
 125        <STRONG>box_set(</STRONG><EM>win</EM>, <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>);</STRONG> is a shorthand for the follow-
 126        ing call:
 127
 128        <STRONG>wborder_set(</STRONG><EM>win</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG>
 129            <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL);</STRONG>
 130
 131        The <STRONG>*line_set</STRONG> functions use <EM>wch</EM> to draw a line starting at
 132        the current cursor position in the window.  The line is at
 133        most <EM>n</EM> characters long or as many as fit into the  window.
 134        The current cursor position is not changed.
 135
 136        The  <STRONG>hline_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwhline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>whline_set</STRONG>
 137        functions draw a line proceeding toward the last column of
 138        the same line.
 139
 140        The  <STRONG>vline_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvvline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwvline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>wvline_set</STRONG>
 141        functions draw a line proceeding toward the last  line  of
 142        the window.
