Calling <STRONG>newwin</STRONG> creates and returns a pointer to a new win-

- <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM>. If either <EM>nlines</EM> or <EM>ncols</EM> is zero, they default
- to <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> <STRONG>-</STRONG> <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> <STRONG>-</STRONG> <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM>. A new full-screen

Routines that return an integer return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> up-
on failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value
other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
tion
- <STRONG>delwin</STRONG>
- returns an error if the window pointer is
- null, or if the window is the parent of anoth-
- er window.
+ <STRONG>delwin</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the window pointer is null, or if
+ the window is the parent of another window.
+
+ <STRONG>derwin</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the parent window pointer is
+ null, or if any of its ordinates or dimensions is
+ negative, or if the resulting window does not fit in-
+ side the parent window.
- This implementation also maintains a list of
- windows, and checks that the pointer passed to
- <STRONG>delwin</STRONG> is one that it created, returning an
- error if it was not..
+ <STRONG>dupwin</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the window pointer is null.
- <STRONG>mvderwin</STRONG>
- returns an error if the window pointer is
- null, or if some part of the window would be
- placed off-screen.
+ This implementation also maintains a list of windows,

+ returns an error if the parent window pointer is

+

If many small changes are made to the window, the <STRONG>wsyncup</STRONG>
option could degrade performance.
