+The constant \fBERR\fP is distinct from \fBTRUE\fP and \fBFALSE\fP,
+which are the normal return values of this function.
+Because the function returns a \fBbool\fP,
+returning \fBERR\fP (which is neither \fBTRUE\fP nor \fBFALSE\fP)
+may not be supported by the compiler.
+.IP
+To provide error-checking and also match the X/Open function prototype,
+the \fBERR\fP is provided by a macro named \fBis_linetouched\fP.
+The actual function returns \fBFALSE\fP when it detects an error.

 .SH PORTABILITY
-The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
 .PP
-Some historic curses implementations had, as an undocumented feature, the
-ability to do the equivalent of \fBclearok(..., 1)\fR by saying
-\fBtouchwin(stdscr)\fR or \fBclear(stdscr)\fR.  This will not work under
-ncurses.
+These functions were introduced by SVr4.
+The Solaris curses header file,
+for instance, defines both an actual function and macro for each.
+The macros give the same result as the actual functions.
+SVr4 curses does not check the window parameter \fIwin\fP to ensure
+that it is not \fBNULL\fP;
+otherwise this implementation behaves the same as SVr4.
