| 57 | .SH DESCRIPTION | 
|---|
| 58 | The \fBtouchwin\fR and \fBtouchline\fR routines throw away all | 
|---|
| 59 | optimization information about which parts of the window have been | 
|---|
| 60 | touched, by pretending that the entire window has been drawn on.  This | 
|---|
| 61 | is sometimes necessary when using overlapping windows, since a change | 
|---|
| 62 | to one window affects the other window, but the records of which lines | 
|---|
| 63 | have been changed in the other window do not reflect the change.  The | 
|---|
| 64 | routine \fBtouchline\fR only pretends that \fIcount\fR lines have been | 
|---|
| 65 | changed, beginning with line \fIstart\fR. | 
|---|
| 66 |  | 
|---|
| 67 | The \fBuntouchwin\fR routine marks all lines in the window as unchanged since | 
|---|
| 68 | the last call to \fBwrefresh\fR. | 
|---|
| 69 |  | 
|---|
| 70 | The \fBwtouchln\fR routine makes \fIn\fR lines in the window, starting | 
|---|
| 71 | at line \fIy\fR, look as if they have (\fIchanged\fR\fB=1\fR) or have | 
|---|
| 72 | not (\fIchanged\fR\fB=0\fR) been changed since the last call to | 
|---|
| 73 | \fBwrefresh\fR. | 
|---|
| 74 |  | 
|---|
| 75 | The \fBis_linetouched\fR and \fBis_wintouched\fR routines return | 
|---|
| 76 | \fBTRUE\fR if the specified line/window was modified since the last | 
|---|
| 77 | call to \fBwrefresh\fR; otherwise they return \fBFALSE\fR.  In | 
|---|
| 78 | addition, \fBis_linetouched\fR returns \fBERR\fR if \fIline\fR is not | 
|---|
| 79 | valid for the given window. | 
|---|
| 80 | .SH RETURN VALUE | 
|---|
| 81 | All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value | 
|---|
| 82 | other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the | 
|---|
| 83 | preceding routine descriptions. | 
|---|
| 84 | .PP | 
|---|
| 85 | X/Open does not define any error conditions. | 
|---|
| 86 | In this implementation | 
|---|
| 87 | .RS | 
|---|
| 88 | .TP 5 | 
|---|
| 89 | \fBis_linetouched\fP | 
|---|
| 90 | returns an error | 
|---|
| 91 | if the window pointer is null, or | 
|---|
| 92 | if the line number is outside the window. | 
|---|
| 93 | Note that ERR is distinct from TRUE and FALSE, which are the normal return values of this function. | 
|---|
| 94 | .TP 5 | 
|---|
| 95 | \fBwtouchln\fP | 
|---|
| 96 | returns an error | 
|---|
| 97 | if the window pointer is null, or | 
|---|
| 98 | if the line number is outside the window. | 
|---|
| 99 | .RE | 
|---|
| 100 | .SH PORTABILITY | 
|---|
| 101 | The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions. | 
|---|
| 102 |  | 
|---|
| 103 | Some historic curses implementations had, as an undocumented feature, the | 
|---|
| 104 | ability to do the equivalent of \fBclearok(..., 1)\fR by saying | 
|---|
| 105 | \fBtouchwin(stdscr)\fR or \fBclear(stdscr)\fR.  This will not work under | 
|---|
| 106 | ncurses. | 
|---|
| 107 | .SH NOTES | 
|---|
| 108 | Note that all routines except \fBwtouchln\fR may be macros. | 
|---|
| 109 | .SH SEE ALSO |
