<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       The <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> and <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> routines throw away  all  opti-
       mization  information about which parts of the window have
       been touched, by pretending that  the  entire  window  has
       been  drawn  on.   This  is sometimes necessary when using
       overlapping windows, since a change to one window  affects
       the other window, but the records of which lines have been
       changed in the other window do  not  reflect  the  change.
       The  routine <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> only pretends that <EM>count</EM> lines have
       been changed, beginning with line <EM>start</EM>.

       The <STRONG>untouchwin</STRONG> routine marks all lines in  the  window  as
       unchanged since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.

       The <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG> routine makes <EM>n</EM> lines in the window, starting
       at line <EM>y</EM>, look as if they have (<EM>changed</EM><STRONG>=1</STRONG>)  or  have  not
       (<EM>changed</EM><STRONG>=0</STRONG>) been changed since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.

       The  <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG> and <STRONG>is_wintouched</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>
       if the specified line/window was modified since  the  last
       call  to  <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>; otherwise they return <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>.  In addi-
       tion, <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>line</EM> is not valid  for
       the given window.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       All  routines  return  the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an
       integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon  successful  completion,
       unless  otherwise  noted in the preceding routine descrip-
       tions.

       X/Open does not define any error conditions.  In this  im-
       plementation

              <STRONG>is_linetouched</STRONG>
                   returns  an  error  if  the  window pointer is
                   null, or if the line  number  is  outside  the
                   window.   Note  that ERR is distinct from <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>
                   and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>, which are the normal return  values
                   of this function.

              <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG>
                   returns  an  error  if  the  window pointer is
                   null, or if the line  number  is  outside  the
                   window.

       The  XSI  Curses  standard,  Issue 4 describes these func-
       tions.

       Some historic curses implementations had,  as  an  undocu-
       mented  feature,  the  ability  to  do  the  equivalent of
       <STRONG>clearok(...,</STRONG> <STRONG>1)</STRONG> by saying <STRONG>touchwin(stdscr)</STRONG>  or  <STRONG>clear(std-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>scr)</STRONG>.  This will not work under ncurses.

<H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       Note that all routines except <STRONG>wtouchln</STRONG> may be macros.
