67 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
68        The  <STRONG>overlay</STRONG>  and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> routines overlay <EM>srcwin</EM> on top
69        of <EM>dstwin</EM>.  <EM>scrwin</EM> and <EM>dstwin</EM> are not required to  be  the
70        same  size;  only  text  where  the two windows overlap is
71        copied.  The difference is that <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> is non-destructive
72        (blanks  are not copied) whereas <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> is destructive.
73
74        The <STRONG>copywin</STRONG> routine provides a finer granularity  of  con-
75        trol over the <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> routines.  Like in the
76        <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> routine, a rectangle is specified in the destina-
77        tion  window,  (<EM>dminrow</EM>,  <EM>dmincol</EM>) and (<EM>dmaxrow</EM>, <EM>dmaxcol</EM>),
78        and the upper-left-corner coordinates of the  source  win-
79        dow, (<EM>sminrow</EM>, <EM>smincol</EM>).  If the argument <EM>overlay</EM> is <STRONG>true</STRONG>,
80        then copying is non-destructive, as in <STRONG>overlay</STRONG>.
81
82
83 </PRE>
84 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
85        Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  upon  failure,
86        and  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>  (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
87        <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
88
89
90 </PRE>
91 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
92        Note that <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> may be macros.
93
94
95 </PRE>
96 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
97        The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions
98        (adding the const qualifiers).  It further specifies their
99        behavior in the presence of characters with multibyte ren-
100        ditions (not yet supported in this implementation).
