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.
