Curses Library Functions                          panels(3CURSES)



NAME
     panels - character based panels package

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     The panel library is built using the curses library, and any
     program  using  panels  routines must call one of the curses
     initialization routines such as  initscr.  A  program  using
     these routines must be compiled with -lpanel and -lcurses on
     the cc command line.


     The panels package gives the applications programmer  a  way
     to have depth relationships between curses windows; a curses
     window is associated with every panel. The  panels  routines
     allow  curses  windows to overlap without making visible the
     overlapped  portions  of  underlying  windows.  The  initial
     curses  window,  stdscr, lies beneath all panels. The set of
     currently visible panels is the deck of panels.


     The panels package allows  the  applications  programmer  to
     create panels, fetch and set their associated windows, shuf-
     fle panels in the deck, and manipulate panels in other ways.

     and ERR if it does not.
