box(3X)                                                             box(3X)

NAME
     box - draw borders from single-byte characters and renditions

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lcurses [library ...]

     #include <curses.h>

     int box(WINDOW *win, chtype verch, chtype horch);

DESCRIPTION
     The box() function draws a border around the edges of the specified
     window. This function does not advance the cursor position. This func-
     tion does not perform special character processing. This function does
     not perform wrapping.

     The function box(win, verch, horch) has an effect equivalent to:

          wborder(win, verch, verch, horch, horch, 0, 0, 0, 0);

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, box() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns
     ERR.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.

NOTES
     These functions are only guaranteed to operate reliably on character
     sets in which each character fits into a single byte, whose attributes
     can be expressed using only constants with the A prefix.
