NAME

       wvline_set, mvvline_set, mvwvline_set - create curses borders or lines using complex characters and

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int border_set(
          const cchar_t *ls, const cchar_t *rs,
          const cchar_t *ts, const cchar_t *bs,
          const cchar_t *tl, const cchar_t *tr,
          const cchar_t *bl, const cchar_t *br );
       int wborder_set(
          WINDOW *win,
          const cchar_t *ls, const cchar_t *rs,
          const cchar_t *ts, const cchar_t *bs,
          const cchar_t *tl, const cchar_t *tr,
          const cchar_t *bl, const cchar_t *br);
       int box_set(
          WINDOW *win,
          const cchar_t *verch,
          const cchar_t *horch);
       int hline_set(
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int whline_set(
          WINDOW *win,
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int mvhline_set(
          int y, int x,
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int mvwhline_set(
          WINDOW *win,
          int y, int x,
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int vline_set(
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int wvline_set(
          WINDOW *win,
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int mvvline_set(
          int y, int x,
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);
       int mvwvline_set(
          WINDOW *win,
          int y, int x,
          const cchar_t *wch, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  border_set  and wborder_set functions draw a border around the edges of the current or specified
       window.  These functions do not change the cursor position, and do not wrap.

       Other than the window, each argument is a complex character with attributes:
              ls - left side,
              rs - right side,
              ts - top side,
              bs - bottom side,
              tl - top left-hand corner,
              tr - top right-hand corner,
              bl - bottom left-hand corner, and
              br - bottom right-hand corner.

       If any of these arguments is zero, then the corresponding default values (defined  in  curses.h)  are
       used instead:
              WACS_VLINE,
              WACS_VLINE,
              WACS_HLINE,
              WACS_HLINE,
              WACS_ULCORNER,
              WACS_URCORNER,
              WACS_LLCORNER, and
              WACS_LRCORNER.

       box_set(win, verch, horch); is a shorthand for the following call:

       wborder_set(win, verch, verch,
           horch, horch, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

       The *line_set functions use wch to draw a line starting at the current cursor position in the window.
       The line is at most n characters long or as many as fit into the window.  The current cursor position
       is not changed.

       The  hline_set, mvhline_set, mvwhline_set, and whline_set functions draw a line proceeding toward the
       last column of the same line.

       The vline_set, mvvline_set, mvwvline_set, and wvline_set functions draw a line proceeding toward  the
       last line of the window.

NOTES
       Note  that border_set, hline_set, mvhline_set, mvvline_set, mvwhline_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set
       may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they return ERR.

       Functions using a window parameter return an error if it is null.
