curs_overlay(3X)curs_overlay(3X)NAME
overlay, overwrite, copywin - overlay and manipulate overlapped curses windows
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int overlay(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);
int overwrite(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);
int copywin(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin, int sminrow,
int smincol, int dminrow, int dmincol, int dmaxrow,
int dmaxcol, int overlay);
DESCRIPTION
The overlay and overwrite routines overlay srcwin on top of dstwin. scrwin and dstwin are not required to be the same size; only text
where the two windows overlap is copied. The difference is that overlay is non-destructive (blanks are not copied) whereas overwrite is
destructive.
The copywin routine provides a finer granularity of control over the overlay and overwrite routines. As in the prefresh routine, a rectan-
gle is specified in the destination window, (dminrow, dmincol) and (dmaxrow, dmaxcol), and the upper-left-corner coordinates of the source
window, (sminrow, smincol). If the argument overlay is true, then copying is non-destructive, as in overlay.
RETURN VALUE
Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure, and OK (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful
completion.
X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementation, copywin, overlay and overwrite return an error if either of the window point-
ers are null, or if some part of the window would be placed off-screen.
NOTES
Note that overlay and overwrite may be macros.
PORTABILITY
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions (adding the const qualifiers). It further specifies their behavior in the pres-
ence of characters with multibyte renditions (not yet supported in this implementation).

Introduction
Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)

So, I am starting looking into the world of UNIX for a new job (luckily not my primary function!) and I am looking to get stared. Like anything I seem to learn best by trying things out first in an environment but I have a key question:
