              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 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:
                  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,   mvwh-
           line_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set may be macros.

## RETURN VALUE

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

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

           Functions with a "mv" prefix first  perform  a  cursor  movement  using
           wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
           the window pointer is null.
