Creates a new window with numlines lines and numcols columns starting at the coordinates (begin_y,begin_x) on the terminal screen. Format #include <curses.h> WINDOW *newwin (int numlines, int numcols, int begin_y, int begin_x);
1 – Arguments
numlines If it is 0, the newwin function sets that dimension to LINES (begin_y). To get a new window of dimensions LINES by COLS, use the following line: newwin (0, 0, 0, 0) numcols If it is 0, the newwin function sets that dimension to COLS (begin_x). Therefore, to get a new window of dimensions LINES by COLS, use the following line: newwin (0, 0, 0, 0) begin_y A window coordinate. begin_x A window coordinate.
2 – Return Values
x The address of the allocated window. ERR Indicates an error.
