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:

If any of these arguments is zero, then the corresponding default values (defined in curses.h) are used instead:

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.

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

Functions using a window parameter return ERR if it is null.

Functions prefixed with “mv” first perform cursor movement and fail if the position (y, x) is outside the window boundaries.

border_set, hline_set, mvhline_set, mvvline_set, mvwhline_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set may be implemented as macros.

These functions are described in X/Open Curses Issue 4.
