The \fIsrcwin\fR and \fIdstwin\fR arguments do not have to be the same size; only text where the two windows overlap is copied. .sp .LP The \fBoverwrite()\fR function copies characters as though a sequence of \fBwin_wch\fR(3XCURSES) and \fBwadd_wch\fR(3XCURSES) were performed with the destination window's attributes and background attributes cleared. .sp .LP The \fBoverlay()\fR function does the same thing, except that, whenever a character to be copied is the background character of the source window, \fBoverlay()\fR does not copy the character but merely moves the destination cursor the width of the source background character. .sp .LP If any portion of the overlaying window border is not the first column of a multi-column character, then all the column positions will be replaced with the background character and rendition before the overlay is done. If the default background character is a multi-column character when this occurs, then these functions fail. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP Upon successful completion, these functions return \fBOK\fR. Otherwise, they return \fBERR\fR. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP No errors are defined. .SH EXAMPLES .LP \fBExample 1 \fRImplement a pop-up dialog .sp .LP The following example demonstrates the use of \fBoverwrite()\fR to implement a pop-up dialog box. .sp .in +2 .nf #include /* * Pop-up a window on top of curscr.
