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

 145        <STRONG>line_set</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwvline_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>vline_set</STRONG> may be macros.

 147
 148 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
 149        Upon successful completion, these functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.  Otherwise, they
 150        return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
 151
 152        Functions using a window parameter return an error if it is null.
 153
 154        Functions with a "mv" prefix first  perform  a  cursor  movement  using
 155        <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
 156        the window pointer is null.
