int ripoffline(
int line,
int (*init)(WINDOW *win,
int width));
PARAMETERS
line determines whether the screen line being reserved comes from
the top of
stdscr (
line is positive) or the bottom (
line is
negative).
init Is a pointer to a function that initializes the one-line
window.
win Is a pointer to one-line window created by this function.
width Is the number of columns in the window pointed to by the
win parameter.
DESCRIPTION
The
ripoffline() function reserves a screen line as a one line
window.
To use this function, it must be called before you call
initscr(3XCURSES) or
newterm(3XCURSES). When
initscr() or
newterm() is called, so is the function pointed to by
init. The function
pointed to by
init takes two arguments: a pointer to the one-line
window and the number of columns in that window. This function cannot
use the
LINES or
COLS variables and cannot call
wrefresh(3XCURSES) or
doupdate(3XCURSES), but may call
wnoutrefresh(3XCURSES).
RETURN VALUES
The
rioffline() function always returns
OK.
ERRORS
None.
