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 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 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.
Note that border_set, hline_set, mvhline_set, mvvline_set, mvwhline_set, mvwvline_set, and vline_set may be macros.
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
