  64        The <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> and <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> routines throw away all optimization  infor-
  65        mation about which parts of the window have been touched, by pretending
  66        that the entire window has been drawn on.  This is sometimes  necessary
  67        when  using  overlapping  windows, since a change to one window affects
  68        the other window, but the records of which lines have been  changed  in
  69        the other window do not reflect the change.  The routine <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> only
  70        pretends that <EM>count</EM> lines have been changed, beginning with line <EM>start</EM>.
  71
  72        The <STRONG>untouchwin</STRONG> routine marks all lines in the window as unchanged since
  73        the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.
  74
  75        The  <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG>  routine makes <EM>n</EM> lines in the window, starting at line <EM>y</EM>,
  76        look as if they have (<EM>changed</EM><STRONG>=1</STRONG>) or have not (<EM>changed</EM><STRONG>=0</STRONG>)  been  changed
  77        since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.
  78
  79        The <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG> and <STRONG>is_wintouched</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> if the speci-
  80        fied line/window was modified since the last call to  <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>;  other-
  81        wise  they  return  <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>.   In addition, <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if
  82        <EM>line</EM> is not valid for the given window.
  83
  84
  85 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
  86        All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an  integer  value
  87        other  than  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in
  88        the preceding routine descriptions.
  89
  90        X/Open does not define any error conditions.  In this implementation
  91
  92               <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG>
  93                    returns an error if the window pointer is null, or  if  the
  94                    line  number  is outside the window.  Note that ERR is dis-
  95                    tinct from <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>, which are the normal return val-
  96                    ues of this function.
  97
  98               <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG>
  99                    returns  an  error if the window pointer is null, or if the
 100                    line number is outside the window.
 101

 103 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
 104        The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
 105
 106        Some historic curses implementations had, as an  undocumented  feature,
 107        the  ability  to  do the equivalent of <STRONG>clearok(...,</STRONG> <STRONG>1)</STRONG> by saying <STRONG>touch-</STRONG>
 108        <STRONG>win(stdscr)</STRONG> or <STRONG>clear(stdscr)</STRONG>.  This will not work under ncurses.
