 102 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
 103        The <STRONG>border_set</STRONG> and <STRONG>wborder_set</STRONG>  functions  draw  a  border
 104        around  the  edges  of  the  current  or specified window.
 105        These functions do not change the cursor position, and  do
 106        not wrap.
 107
 108        Other  than the window, each argument is a complex charac-
 109        ter with attributes:
 110               <EM>ls</EM> - left side,
 111               <EM>rs</EM> - right side,
 112               <EM>ts</EM> - top side,
 113               <EM>bs</EM> - bottom side,
 114               <EM>tl</EM> - top left-hand corner,
 115               <EM>tr</EM> - top right-hand corner,
 116               <EM>bl</EM> - bottom left-hand corner, and
 117               <EM>br</EM> - bottom right-hand corner.
 118
 119        If any of these arguments is zero, then the  corresponding
 120        default values (defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>) are used instead:
 121               <STRONG>WACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
 122               <STRONG>WACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
 123               <STRONG>WACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
 124               <STRONG>WACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
 125               <STRONG>WACS_ULCORNER</STRONG>,
 126               <STRONG>WACS_URCORNER</STRONG>,
 127               <STRONG>WACS_LLCORNER</STRONG>, and
 128               <STRONG>WACS_LRCORNER</STRONG>.
 129
 130        <STRONG>box_set(</STRONG><EM>win</EM>, <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>);</STRONG> is a shorthand for the follow-
 131        ing call:
 132
 133        <STRONG>wborder_set(</STRONG><EM>win</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG>
 134            <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL,</STRONG> <STRONG>NULL);</STRONG>
 135
 136        The <STRONG>*line_set</STRONG> functions use <EM>wch</EM> to draw a line starting at
 137        the current cursor position in the window.  The line is at
 138        most <EM>n</EM> characters long or as many as fit into the  window.
 139        The current cursor position is not changed.
 140
 141        The  <STRONG>hline_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwhline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>whline_set</STRONG>
 142        functions draw a line proceeding toward the last column of
 143        the same line.
 144
 145        The  <STRONG>vline_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvvline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwvline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>wvline_set</STRONG>
 146        functions draw a line proceeding toward the last  line  of
 147        the window.

 151 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
 152        Note that <STRONG>border_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>hline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvvline_set</STRONG>,
 153        <STRONG>mvwhline_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwvline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>vline_set</STRONG> may be macros.
 154
 155
 156 </PRE>
 157 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
 158        Upon successful completion,  these  functions  return  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.
 159        Otherwise, they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
 160
 161        Functions  using  a window parameter return an error if it
 162        is null.
 163
 164        Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
 165        ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
 166        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
