|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions scroll areas on
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
or on the specified window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn scrl
|
|
function scrolls
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
by
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
lines.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
is positive then then
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
is scrolled up.
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
lines are lost from the top of
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
blank lines are inserted at the bottom.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
is negative then
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
is scrolled down.
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
blank lines are inserted at the top of
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
lines are lost from the bottom.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wscrl
|
|
function is the same as the
|
|
.Fn scrl
|
|
function, excepting that it scrolls the window specified by
|
|
.Fa win .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn scroll
|
|
function scrolls the window
|
|
.Fa win
|
|
up by one line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The scrolling behaviour of a window can be controlled by using the
|
|
.Fn scrollok
|
|
function.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
then a line wrap at the bottom of the window will cause the window to
|
|
be scrolled up one line, if
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv FALSE
|
|
then lines that would force a scroll will be truncated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setscrreg
|
|
function sets up a software scrolling region on
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
which will define a region of the screen that will be scrolled.
|
|
The scrolling of this region is also controlled by the
|
|
.Fn scrollok
|
|
function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wsetscrreg
|
|
function does the same as the
|
|
.Fn setscrreg
|
|
function, except that the scrolling region is set on the window specified by
|
|
.Fa win .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a scrolling region has been set with the
|
|
.Fn setscrreg
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn wsetscrreg
|
|
functions and the current cursor position is inside the scrolling region,
|
|
then only the area inside the scrolling region is scrolled.
|
|
.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
