-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>newpad</STRONG> routine creates and returns a pointer to a new
- pad data structure with the given number of lines, <EM>nlines</EM>,
- and columns, <EM>ncols</EM>. A pad is like a window, except that
- it is not restricted by the screen size, and is not neces-
- sarily associated with a particular part of the screen.
- Pads can be used when a large window is needed, and only a
- part of the window will be on the screen at one time. Au-
- tomatic refreshes of pads (e.g., from scrolling or echoing
- of input) do not occur. It is not legal to call <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>
- with a <EM>pad</EM> as an argument; the routines <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> or
- <STRONG>pnoutrefresh</STRONG> should be called instead. Note that these
- routines require additional parameters to specify the part
- of the pad to be displayed and the location on the screen
- to be used for the display.
-
- The <STRONG>subpad</STRONG> routine creates and returns a pointer to a sub-
- window within a pad with the given number of lines,
- <EM>nlines</EM>, and columns, <EM>ncols</EM>. Unlike <STRONG>subwin</STRONG>, which uses
- screen coordinates, the window is at position (<EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG>
- <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM>) on the pad. The window is made in the middle of
- the window <EM>orig</EM>, so that changes made to one window affect
- both windows. During the use of this routine, it will of-
- ten be necessary to call <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> or <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> on <EM>orig</EM> be-
- fore calling <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG>.
-
- The <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>pnoutrefresh</STRONG> routines are analogous to
- <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> except that they relate to pads
- instead of windows. The additional parameters are needed
- to indicate what part of the pad and screen are involved.
- <EM>pminrow</EM> and <EM>pmincol</EM> specify the upper left-hand corner of
- the rectangle to be displayed in the pad. <EM>sminrow</EM>, <EM>smin-</EM>
- <EM>col</EM>, <EM>smaxrow</EM>, and <EM>smaxcol</EM> specify the edges of the rectan-
- gle to be displayed on the screen. The lower right-hand
- corner of the rectangle to be displayed in the pad is cal-
- culated from the screen coordinates, since the rectangles
- must be the same size. Both rectangles must be entirely
- contained within their respective structures. Negative
- values of <EM>pminrow</EM>, <EM>pmincol</EM>, <EM>sminrow</EM>, or <EM>smincol</EM> are treat-
- ed as if they were zero.
-
- The <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG> routine is functionally equivalent to a call
- to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>, a call to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>
- followed by a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>, or a call to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> fol-
- lowed by a call to <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG>. The knowledge that only a
- single character is being output is taken into considera-
- tion and, for non-control characters, a considerable per-
- formance gain might be seen by using these routines in-
- stead of their equivalents. In the case of <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG>, the
- last location of the pad on the screen is reused for the
- arguments to <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG>.
-
- The <STRONG>pecho_wchar</STRONG> function is the analogous wide-character
- form of <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG>. It outputs one character to a pad and
- immediately refreshes the pad. It does this by a call to
- <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG>.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure
- and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
- <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
-
- Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error, and
- set <STRONG>errno</STRONG> to <STRONG>ENOMEM</STRONG>.
-
- X/Open does not define any error conditions. In this im-
- plementation
-
- <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>pnoutrefresh</STRONG>
- return an error if the window pointer is null,
- or if the window is not really a pad or if the
- area to refresh extends off-screen or if the
- minimum coordinates are greater than the maxi-
- mum.
-
- <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG>
- returns an error if the window is not really a
- pad, and the associated call to <STRONG>wechochar</STRONG> re-
- turns an error.
-
- <STRONG>pecho_wchar</STRONG>
- returns an error if the window is not really a
- pad, and the associated call to <STRONG>wecho_wchar</STRONG>
- returns an error.
