+.SH NAME
+\fBoverlay\fR,
+\fBoverwrite\fR,
+\fBcopywin\fR - overlay and manipulate overlapped \fBcurses\fR windows
+.ad
+.hy
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBint overlay(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);\fR
+.br
+\fBint overwrite(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);\fR
+.br
+\fBint copywin(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin, int sminrow,\fR
+ \fBint smincol, int dminrow, int dmincol, int dmaxrow,\fR
+ \fBint dmaxcol, int overlay);\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines overlay \fIsrcwin\fR on
+top of \fIdstwin\fR. \fIscrwin\fR and \fIdstwin\fR are not required
+to be the same size; only text where the two windows overlap is
+copied. The difference is that \fBoverlay\fR is non-destructive
+(blanks are not copied) whereas \fBoverwrite\fR is destructive.
+.PP
+The \fBcopywin\fR routine provides a finer granularity of control over the
+\fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines. Like in the \fBprefresh\fR
+routine, a rectangle is specified in the destination window, (\fIdminrow\fR,
+\fIdmincol\fR) and (\fIdmaxrow\fR, \fIdmaxcol\fR), and the upper-left-corner
+coordinates of the source window, (\fIsminrow\fR, \fIsmincol\fR). If the
+argument \fIoverlay\fR is \fBtrue\fR, then copying is non-destructive, as in
+\fBoverlay\fR.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure, and \fBOK\fR
+(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
+completion.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no error conditions.
+In this implementation,
+\fBcopywin\fP,
+\fBoverlay\fP and \fBoverwrite\fP return an error
+if either of the window pointers are null, or
+if some part of the window would be placed off-screen.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that \fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR may be macros.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions (adding the const
+qualifiers). It further specifies their behavior in the presence of characters
+with multibyte renditions (not yet supported in this implementation).
