Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions mark lines and windows as modified and check the modification
status of lines and windows.
Pp
The
Fn touchline
function marks
Fa count
lines starting from
Fa start
in window
Fa win
as having been modified.
These characters will be synced to the terminal on the next call to
Fn wrefresh .
Pp
The
Fn touchoverlap
function marks the portion of
Fa win2
that overlaps
Fa win1
as being modified.
Pp
The
Fn touchwin
function marks the entire window
Fa win
as having been modified.
Conversely,
the
Fn untouchwin
function marks the window
Fa win
as being unmodified, so that any changes made to that window will
not be synced to the terminal during a
Fn wrefresh .
Pp
The
Fn wtouchln
function performs one of two operations on
Fa n
lines starting at
Fa line
in the given window.
If
Fa changed
is 1 then the given line range is marked as being modified, if
Fa changed
is 0 then the given line range is set to being unmodified.
Pp
The
Fn is_linetouched
function returns
Dv TRUE
if
Fa line
in window
Fa win
has been modified since the last refresh was done, otherwise
Dv FALSE
is returned.
Pp
Fn is_wintouched
returns
Dv TRUE
if the window
Fa win
has been modified since the last refresh, otherwise
Dv FALSE
is returned.
Pp
The
Fn redrawwin
function marks the entire window
Fa win
as having been corrupted.
Is is equivalent to the
Fn touchwin
function.
Pp
The
Fn wredrawln
function marks
Fa n
lines starting at
Fa line
in the given window as corrupted.
It is equivalent to
Fn wtouchln win line n 1 .
Pp
The
Fn syncok
function determines whether all the ancestors of the specified window are
implicitly touched whenever there is a change in the window.
The initial state is
Dv FALSE .
Pp
The
Fn wsyncup
function touches all ancestors of
Fa win .
Pp
The
Fn wsyncdown
function touches
Fa win
if any of its ancestors is touched.
Sh RETURN VALUES
Functions returning pointers will return
Dv NULL
if an error is detected.
The functions that return an int will return one of the following
values:
Pp
Bl -tag -width ERR -compact
It Er OK
The function completed successfully.
It Er ERR
An error occurred in the function.
