+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>newpad</STRONG> routine creates and returns a pointer to a new
+ pad data structure with the given number of lines, <EM>nlines</EM>,
+ and columns, <EM>ncols</EM>. A pad is like a window, except that
+ it is not restricted by the screen size, and is not neces-
+ sarily associated with a particular part of the screen.
+ Pads can be used when a large window is needed, and only a
+ part of the window will be on the screen at one time.
+ Automatic refreshes of pads (<EM>e</EM>.<EM>g</EM>., from scrolling or echo-
+ ing of input) do not occur. It is not legal to call <STRONG>wre-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>fresh</STRONG> with a <EM>pad</EM> as an argument; the routines <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> or
+ <STRONG>pnoutrefresh</STRONG> should be called instead. Note that these
+ routines require additional parameters to specify the part
+ of the pad to be displayed and the location on the screen
+ to be used for the display.
+
+ The <STRONG>subpad</STRONG> routine creates and returns a pointer to a sub-
+ window within a pad with the given number of lines,
+ <EM>nlines</EM>, and columns, <EM>ncols</EM>. Unlike <STRONG>subwin</STRONG>, which uses
+ screen coordinates, the window is at position (<EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG>
+ <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM>) on the pad. The window is made in the middle of
+ the window <EM>orig</EM>, so that changes made to one window affect
+ both windows. During the use of this routine, it will
+ often be necessary to call <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> or <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> on <EM>orig</EM>
+ before calling <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG>.
+
+ The <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>pnoutrefresh</STRONG> routines are analogous to
+ <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> except that they relate to pads
+ instead of windows. The additional parameters are needed
+ to indicate what part of the pad and screen are involved.
+ <EM>pminrow</EM> and <EM>pmincol</EM> specify the upper left-hand corner of
+ the rectangle to be displayed in the pad. <EM>sminrow</EM>, <EM>smin-</EM>
+ <EM>col</EM>, <EM>smaxrow</EM>, and <EM>smaxcol</EM> specify the edges of the rectan-
+ gle to be displayed on the screen. The lower right-hand
+ corner of the rectangle to be displayed in the pad is cal-
+ culated from the screen coordinates, since the rectangles
+ must be the same size. Both rectangles must be entirely
+ contained within their respective structures. Negative
+ values of <EM>pminrow</EM>, <EM>pmincol</EM>, <EM>sminrow</EM>, or <EM>smincol</EM> are
+ treated as if they were zero.
+
+ The <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG> routine is functionally equivalent to a call
+ to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>, a call to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>
+ followed by a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>, or a call to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> fol-
+ lowed by a call to <STRONG>prefresh.</STRONG> The knowledge that only a
+ single character is being output is taken into considera-
+ tion and, for non-control characters, a considerable per-
+ formance gain might be seen by using these routines
+ instead of their equivalents. In the case of <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG>,
+ the last location of the pad on the screen is reused for
+ the arguments to <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG>.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure
+ and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
+ <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
+
+ Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error, and
+ set <STRONG>errno</STRONG> to <STRONG>ENOMEM</STRONG>.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ Note that <STRONG>pechochar</STRONG> may be a macro.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these func-
+ tions.
