DESCRIPTION

       The  border,  wborder and box routines draw a box around the edges of a
       window.  Other than the window, each argument is a character  with  at-
       tributes:
              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 val-
       ues (defined in curses.h) are used instead:
              ACS_VLINE,
              ACS_VLINE,
              ACS_HLINE,
              ACS_HLINE,
              ACS_ULCORNER,
              ACS_URCORNER,
              ACS_LLCORNER,
              ACS_LRCORNER.

       box(win, verch, horch) is a shorthand for  the  following  call:  wbor-
       der(win, verch, verch, horch, horch, 0, 0, 0, 0).

       The  hline  and whline functions draw a horizontal (left to right) line
       using ch starting at the current cursor position in  the  window.   The
       current  cursor position is not changed.  The line is at most n charac-
       ters long, or as many as fit into the window.

       The vline and wvline functions draw a vertical (top to bottom) line us-
       ing ch starting at the current cursor position in the window.  The cur-
       Note that border and box may be macros.

PORTABILITY

       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.  The
       standard  specifies  that  they return ERR on failure, but specifies no
       error conditions.
