67 The <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> and <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> routines throw away all opti-
68 mization information about which parts of the window have
69 been touched, by pretending that the entire window has
70 been drawn on. This is sometimes necessary when using
71 overlapping windows, since a change to one window affects
72 the other window, but the records of which lines have been
73 changed in the other window do not reflect the change.
74 The routine <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> only pretends that <EM>count</EM> lines have
75 been changed, beginning with line <EM>start</EM>.
77 The <STRONG>untouchwin</STRONG> routine marks all lines in the window as
78 unchanged since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.
80 The <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG> routine makes <EM>n</EM> lines in the window, starting
81 at line <EM>y</EM>, look as if they have (<EM>changed</EM><STRONG>=1</STRONG>) or have not
82 (<EM>changed</EM><STRONG>=0</STRONG>) been changed since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.
84 The <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG> and <STRONG>is_wintouched</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>
85 if the specified line/window was modified since the last
86 call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>; otherwise they return <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>. In addi-
87 tion, <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>line</EM> is not valid for
88 the given window.
91 </PRE>
92 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
93 All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an
94 integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon successful completion,
95 unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine descrip-
96 tions.
98 X/Open does not define any error conditions. In this im-
99 plementation
101 <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG>
102 returns an error if the window pointer is
103 null, or if the line number is outside the
104 window. Note that ERR is distinct from <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>
105 and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>, which are the normal return values
106 of this function.
108 <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG>
109 returns an error if the window pointer is
110 null, or if the line number is outside the
111 window.

116 The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these func-
117 tions.
119 Some historic curses implementations had, as an undocu-
120 mented feature, the ability to do the equivalent of
121 <STRONG>clearok(...,</STRONG> <STRONG>1)</STRONG> by saying <STRONG>touchwin(stdscr)</STRONG> or <STRONG>clear(std-</STRONG>
122 <STRONG>scr)</STRONG>. This will not work under ncurses.
