win A pointer to the parent window. numlines The number of lines in the subwindow. If numlines is 0, then the function sets that dimension to LINES - begin_y. To get a subwindow of dimensions LINES by COLS, use the following format: subwin (win, 0, 0, 0, 0) numcols The number of columns in the subwindow. If numcols is 0, then the function sets that dimension to COLS - begin_x. To get a subwindow of dimensions LINES by COLS, use the following format: subwin (win, 0, 0, 0, 0) begin_y A window coordinate at which the subwindow is to be created. begin_x A window coordinate at which the subwindow is to be created.
