66 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
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>.
76
77        The <STRONG>untouchwin</STRONG> routine marks all lines in  the  window  as
78        unchanged since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.
79
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>.
83
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.
89
90
91 </PRE>
92 <H2>RETURN VALUE</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.
97

99 </PRE>
100 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
101        The  XSI  Curses  standard,  Issue 4 describes these func-
102        tions.
103
104        Some historic curses implementations had,  as  an  undocu-
105        mented  feature,  the  ability  to  do  the  equivalent of
106        <STRONG>clearok(...,</STRONG> <STRONG>1)</STRONG> by saying <STRONG>touchwin(stdscr)</STRONG>  or  <STRONG>clear(std-</STRONG>
107        <STRONG>scr)</STRONG>.  This will not work under ncurses.

109
110 </PRE>
111 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
112        Note that all routines except <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG> may be macros.
