  63 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  64        The  <STRONG>overlay</STRONG>  and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> routines overlay <EM>srcwin</EM> on top
  65        of <EM>dstwin</EM>.  <EM>scrwin</EM> and <EM>dstwin</EM> are not required to  be  the
  66        same  size;  only  text  where  the two windows overlap is
  67        copied.  The difference is that <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> is non-destructive
  68        (blanks  are not copied) whereas <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> is destructive.
  69
  70        The <STRONG>copywin</STRONG> routine provides a finer granularity  of  con-
  71        trol over the <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> routines.  Like in the
  72        <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> routine, a rectangle is specified in the destina-
  73        tion  window,  (<EM>dminrow</EM>,  <EM>dmincol</EM>) and (<EM>dmaxrow</EM>, <EM>dmaxcol</EM>),
  74        and the upper-left-corner coordinates of the  source  win-
  75        dow, (<EM>sminrow</EM>, <EM>smincol</EM>).  If the argument <EM>overlay</EM> is <STRONG>true</STRONG>,
  76        then copying is non-destructive, as in <STRONG>overlay</STRONG>.
  77
  78
  79 </PRE>
  80 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
  81        Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  upon  failure,
  82        and  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>  (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
  83        <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
  84
  85
  86 </PRE>
  87 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
  88        Note that <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> may be macros.

  92 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
  93        The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions
  94        (adding the const qualifiers).  It further specifies their
  95        behavior in the presence of characters with multibyte ren-
  96        ditions (not yet supported in this implementation).
