+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBnewpad\fR routine creates and returns a pointer to a new pad data
+structure with the given number of lines, \fInlines\fR, and columns,
+\fIncols\fR.
+A pad is like a window, except that it is not restricted by the
+screen size, and is not necessarily associated with a particular part of the
+screen.
+Pads can be used when a large window is needed, and only a part of the
+window will be on the screen at one time.
+Automatic refreshes of pads
+(e.g., from scrolling or echoing of input) do not occur.
+It is not
+legal to call \fBwrefresh\fR with a \fIpad\fR as an argument; the routines
+\fBprefresh\fR or \fBpnoutrefresh\fR should be called instead.
+Note that these
+routines require additional parameters to specify the part of the pad to be
+displayed and the location on the screen to be used for the display.
+.PP
+The \fBsubpad\fR routine creates and returns a pointer to a subwindow within a
+pad with the given number of lines, \fInlines\fR, and columns, \fIncols\fR.
+Unlike \fBsubwin\fR, which uses screen coordinates, the window is at position
+(\fIbegin\fR_\fIx\fR\fB,\fR \fIbegin\fR_\fIy\fR) on the pad.
+The window is
+made in the middle of the window \fIorig\fR, so that changes made to one window
+affect both windows.
+During the use of this routine, it will often be
+necessary to call \fBtouchwin\fR or \fBtouchline\fR on \fIorig\fR before
+calling \fBprefresh\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBprefresh\fR and \fBpnoutrefresh\fR routines are analogous to
+\fBwrefresh\fR and \fBwnoutrefresh\fR except that they relate to pads instead
+of windows.
+The additional parameters are needed to indicate what part of the
+pad and screen are involved.
+\fIpminrow\fR and \fIpmincol\fR specify the upper
+left-hand corner of the rectangle to be displayed in the pad.
+\fIsminrow\fR,
+\fIsmincol\fR, \fIsmaxrow\fR, and \fIsmaxcol\fR specify the edges of the
+rectangle to be displayed on the screen.
+The lower right-hand corner of the
+rectangle to be displayed in the pad is calculated from the screen coordinates,
+since the rectangles must be the same size.
+Both rectangles must be entirely
+contained within their respective structures.
+Negative values of
+\fIpminrow\fR, \fIpmincol\fR, \fIsminrow\fR, or \fIsmincol\fR are treated as if
+they were zero.
+.PP
+The \fBpechochar\fR routine is functionally equivalent to a call to \fBaddch\fR
+followed by a call to \fBrefresh\fR, a call to \fBwaddch\fR followed by a call
+to \fBwrefresh\fR, or a call to \fBwaddch\fR followed by a call to
+\fBprefresh\fR.
+The knowledge that only a single character is being output is
+taken into consideration and, for non-control characters, a considerable
+performance gain might be seen by using these routines instead of their
+equivalents.
+In the case of \fBpechochar\fR, the last location of the pad on
+the screen is reused for the arguments to \fBprefresh\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBpecho_wchar\fR function is the analogous wide-character
+form of \fBpechochar\fR.
+It outputs one character to a pad and immediately refreshes the pad.
+It does this by a call to \fBwadd_wch\fR followed by a call to \fBprefresh\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
+Routines that return pointers return \fBNULL\fR on error, and set \fBerrno\fR
+to \fBENOMEM\fR.
+.PP
+X/Open does not define any error conditions.
+In this implementation
+.RS
+.TP 5
+\fBprefresh\fP and \fBpnoutrefresh\fP
+return an error
+if the window pointer is null, or
+if the window is not really a pad or
+if the area to refresh extends off-screen or
+if the minimum coordinates are greater than the maximum.
+.TP 5
+\fBpechochar\fP
+returns an error
+if the window is not really a pad, and the associated call
+to \fBwechochar\fP returns an error.
+.TP 5
+\fBpecho_wchar\fP
+returns an error
+if the window is not really a pad, and the associated call
+to \fBwecho_wchar\fP returns an error.
+.RE
+.SH NOTES
+Note that \fBpechochar\fR may be a macro.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
