.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions draw borders around
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
or around the specified window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn border
|
|
function draws a border around
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
using the characters given as arguments to the function.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ls ,
|
|
.Fa rs ,
|
|
.Fa ts
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa bs
|
|
are the characters used to draw the left, right, top and bottom sides,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa tl ,
|
|
.Fa tr ,
|
|
.Fa bl
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa br
|
|
are the characters used to draw the top-left, top-right, bottom-left
|
|
and bottom-right corners, respectively.
|
|
If any of the characters have a text portion that is 0 then a default
|
|
alternate character set character is used for that character.
|
|
Note that even though the text portion of the argument is 0, the argument
|
|
can still be used to specify the attributes for that portion of the border.
|
|
The following table shows the default characters for each argument:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -column "ls" -offset indent
|
|
.It ls ACS_VLINE
|
|
.It rs ACS_VLINE
|
|

.It bs ACS_HLINE
|
|
.It tl ACS_ULCORNER
|
|
.It tr ACS_URCORNER
|
|
.It bl ACS_LLCORNER
|
|
.It br ACS_LRCORNER
|
|
.El
|

.Fn wborder
|
|

|
|
.Fn border
|
|
excepting that the border is drawn around the specified window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn box
|
|
command draws a box around the window given in
|
|
.Fa win
|
|
using the
|
|
.Fa vertical
|
|
character for the vertical lines and the
|
|
.Fa horiztonal
|
|
character for the horizontal lines.
|
|
The corner characters of this box will be the defaults as described for
|
|
.Fn border
|
|
above.
|
|
Passing characters with text portion that is 0 to
|
|
.Fn box
|
|
will result in the same defaults as those for
|
|
.Fn border
|
|
as described above.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Functions returning pointers will return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if an error is detected.
|
|
The functions that return an int will return one of the following
|
|
values:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ERR -compact
|
|
.It Er OK
|
|
