|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions create and display pads on the current screen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn newpad
|
|
function creates a new pad of size
|
|
.Fa lines ,
|
|
.Fa cols .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn subpad
|
|
is similar to
|
|
.Fn newpad
|
|
excepting that the size of the subpad is bounded by the parent
|
|
pad
|
|
.Fa pad .
|
|
The subpad shares internal data structures with the parent pad
|
|
and will be refreshed when the parent pad is refreshed.
|
|
The starting column and row
|
|
.Fa begin_y ,
|
|
.Fa begin_x
|
|
are relative to the parent pad origin.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pnoutrefresh
|
|
function performs the internal processing required by curses to determine
|
|
what changes need to be made to synchronise the internal screen buffer
|
|
and the terminal but does not modify the terminal display.
|
|
A rectangular area of the pad starting at column and row
|
|
.Fa pbeg_y ,
|
|
.Fa pbeg_x
|
|
is copied to the corresponding rectangular area of the screen buffer starting
|
|
at column and row
|
|
.Fa sbeg_y ,
|
|
.Fa sbeg_x
|
|
and extending to
|
|
.Fa smax_y ,
|
|
.Fa smax_x .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn prefresh
|
|
function causes curses to propagate changes made to the pad specified by
|
|
.Fa pad
|
|
to the terminal display.
|
|
A rectangular area of the pad starting at column and row
|
|
.Fa pbeg_y ,
|
|
.Fa pbeg_x
|
|
is copied to the corresponding rectangular area of the terminal starting
|
|
at column and row
|
|
.Fa sbeg_y ,
|
|
.Fa sbeg_x
|
|
and extending to
|
|
.Fa smax_y ,
|
|
.Fa smax_x .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pnoutrefresh
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn doupdate
|
|
functions can be used together to speed up terminal redraws by
|
|
deferring the actual terminal updates until after a batch of updates
|
|
to multiple pads has been done.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Functions returning pointers will return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if an error is detected.
|
|
The functions that return an int will return one of the following
|
|
values:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ERR -compact
|
|
.It Er OK
|
|
The function completed successfully.
|
|
.It Er ERR
|
|
An error occurred in the function.

|
|
.Xr curses_window 3
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn subpad
|
|
function is similar to the
|
|
.Xr derwin 3
|
|
function, and not the
|
|
.Xr subwin 3
|
|
function.
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the
|
|
Single Unix Specification.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The Curses package appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.0 .
