-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- Calling <B>newwin</B> creates and returns a pointer to a new win-
- dow with the given number of lines and columns. The upper
- left-hand corner of the window is at line <I>begin</I>_<I>y</I>, column
- <I>begin</I>_<I>x</I>. If either <I>nlines</I> or <I>ncols</I> is zero, they default
- to <B>LINES</B> <B>-</B> <I>begin</I>_<I>y</I> and <B>COLS</B> <B>-</B> <I>begin</I>_<I>x</I>. A new full-screen
- window is created by calling <B>newwin(0,0,0,0)</B>.
-
- Calling <B>delwin</B> deletes the named window, freeing all mem-
- ory associated with it (it does not actually erase the
- window's screen image). Subwindows must be deleted before
- the main window can be deleted.
-
- Calling <B>mvwin</B> moves the window so that the upper left-hand
- corner is at position (<I>x</I>, <I>y</I>). If the move would cause the
- window to be off the screen, it is an error and the window
- is not moved. Moving subwindows is allowed, but should be
- avoided.
-
- Calling <B>subwin</B> creates and returns a pointer to a new win-
- dow with the given number of lines, <I>nlines</I>, and columns,
- <I>ncols</I>. The window is at position (<I>begin</I>_<I>y</I>, <I>begin</I>_<I>x</I>) on
- the screen. (This position is relative to the screen, and
- not to the window <I>orig</I>.) The window is made in the middle
- of the window <I>orig</I>, so that changes made to one window
- will affect both windows. The subwindow shares memory
- with the window <I>orig</I>. When using this routine, it is nec-
- essary to call <B>touchwin</B> or <B>touchline</B> on <I>orig</I> before call-
- ing <B>wrefresh</B> on the subwindow.
-
- Calling <B>derwin</B> is the same as calling <B>subwin,</B> except that
- <I>begin</I>_<I>y</I> and <I>begin</I>_<I>x</I> are relative to the origin of the win-
- dow <I>orig</I> rather than the screen. There is no difference
- between the subwindows and the derived windows.
-
- Calling <B>mvderwin</B> moves a derived window (or subwindow)
- inside its parent window. The screen-relative parameters
- of the window are not changed. This routine is used to
- display different parts of the parent window at the same
- physical position on the screen.
-
- Calling <B>dupwin</B> creates an exact duplicate of the window
- <I>win</I>.
-
- Calling <B>wsyncup</B> touches all locations in ancestors of <I>win</I>
- that are changed in <I>win</I>. If <B>syncok</B> is called with second
- argument <B>TRUE</B> then <B>wsyncup</B> is called automatically when-
- ever there is a change in the window.
-
- The <B>wsyncdown</B> routine touches each location in <I>win</I> that
- has been touched in any of its ancestor windows. This
- routine is called by <B>wrefresh</B>, so it should almost never
- be necessary to call it manually.
-
- The routine <B>wcursyncup</B> updates the current cursor position
- of all the ancestors of the window to reflect the current
- cursor position of the window.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- Routines that return an integer return the integer <B>ERR</B>
- upon failure and <B>OK</B> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value
- other than <B>ERR</B>") upon successful completion.
-
- <B>delwin</B> returns the integer <B>ERR</B> upon failure and <B>OK</B> upon
- successful completion.
- Routines that return pointers return <B>NULL</B> on error.
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- If many small changes are made to the window, the <B>wsyncup</B>
- option could degrade performance.
-
- Note that <B>syncok</B> may be a macro.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
- The subwindow functions (<I>subwin</I>, <I>derwin</I>, <I>mvderwin</I>, <B>wsyn-</B>
- <B>cup</B>, <B>wsyncdown</B>, <B>wcursyncup</B>, <B>syncok</B>) are flaky, incom-
- pletely implemented, and not well tested.
-
- The System V curses documentation is very unclear about
- what <B>wsyncup</B> and <B>wsyncdown</B> actually do. It seems to imply
- that they are only supposed to touch exactly those lines
- that are affected by ancestor changes. The language here,
- and the behavior of the <B>curses</B> implementation, is pat-
- terned on the XPG4 curses standard. The weaker XPG4 spec
- may result in slower updates.
-
-

-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these func-
- tions.
