.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS overlay, overwrite
The \fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines overlay \fIsrcwin\fR on
-top of \fIdstwin\fR. \fIscrwin\fR and \fIdstwin\fR are not required
-to be the same size; only text where the two windows overlap is
-copied. The difference is that \fBoverlay\fR is non-destructive
+top of \fIdstwin\fR.
+\fIscrwin\fR and \fIdstwin\fR are not required
+to be the same size; only text where the two windows overlap is copied.
+The difference is that \fBoverlay\fR is non-destructive
(blanks are not copied) whereas \fBoverwrite\fR is destructive.

+.SS copywin
+.PP
The \fBcopywin\fR routine provides a finer granularity of control over the
-\fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines. Like in the \fBprefresh\fR
-routine, a rectangle is specified in the destination window, (\fIdminrow\fR,
+\fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines.
+As in the \fBprefresh\fR routine,
+a rectangle is specified in the destination window, (\fIdminrow\fR,
\fIdmincol\fR) and (\fIdmaxrow\fR, \fIdmaxcol\fR), and the upper-left-corner
-coordinates of the source window, (\fIsminrow\fR, \fIsmincol\fR). If the
-argument \fIoverlay\fR is \fBtrue\fR, then copying is non-destructive, as in
-\fBoverlay\fR.
+coordinates of the source window, (\fIsminrow\fR, \fIsmincol\fR).
+If the argument \fIoverlay\fR is \fBtrue\fR,
+then copying is non-destructive,
+as in \fBoverlay\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure, and \fBOK\fR
(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
completion.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no error conditions.
+In this implementation,
+\fBcopywin\fP,
+\fBoverlay\fP and \fBoverwrite\fP return an error
+if either of the window pointers are null, or
+if some part of the window would be placed off-screen.
.SH NOTES
Note that \fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR may be macros.
.SH PORTABILITY
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions (adding the const
-qualifiers). It further specifies their behavior in the presence of characters
+qualifiers).
+It further specifies their behavior in the presence of characters
with multibyte renditions (not yet supported in this implementation).
