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

 158 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
 159        Upon successful completion,  these  functions  return  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.
 160        Otherwise, they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
 161
 162        Functions  using  a window parameter return an error if it
 163        is null.
 164
 165        Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
 166        ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
 167        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
