       int mvvline_set(

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 charac-
       ter with attributes:
              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 values (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 follow-
       ing 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,
       mvwhline_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set may be macros.

RETURN VALUES

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

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