+.SH NAME
+\fBscroll\fP,
+\fBscrl\fP,
+\fBwscrl\fP \- scroll a \fBcurses\fP window
+.ad
+.hy
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
+.sp
+\fBint scroll(WINDOW *\fIwin\fB);\fR
+.sp
+\fBint scrl(int \fIn\fB);\fR
+.br
+\fBint wscrl(WINDOW *\fIwin\fB, int \fIn\fB);\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBscroll\fP routine scrolls the window up one line.
+This involves moving
+the lines in the window data structure.
+As an optimization, if the scrolling
+region of the window is the entire screen,
+the \fIphysical screen\fP may be scrolled at the same time.
+.PP
+For positive \fIn\fP, the \fBscrl\fP and \fBwscrl\fP routines scroll the
+window up \fIn\fP lines (line \fIi\fP+\fIn\fP becomes \fIi\fP); otherwise
+scroll the window down \fIn\fP lines.
+This involves moving the lines in the
+window character image structure.
+The current cursor position is not changed.
+.PP
+For these functions to work, scrolling must be enabled via \fBscrollok\fP(3).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These routines return \fBERR\fP upon failure, and \fBOK\fP (SVr4 only specifies
+"an integer value other than \fBERR\fP") upon successful completion.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no error conditions.
+.PP
+This implementation returns an error
+if the window pointer is null, or
+if scrolling is not enabled in the window, e.g., with \fBscrollok\fP(3).
+.SH NOTES
+Note that \fBscrl\fP and \fBscroll\fP may be macros.
+.PP
+The SVr4 documentation says that the optimization of physically scrolling
+immediately if the scroll region is the entire screen \*(``is\*('' performed,
+not \*(``may be\*('' performed.
+This implementation deliberately does not guarantee
+that this will occur, to leave open the possibility of smarter
+optimization of multiple scroll actions on the next update.
+.PP
+Neither the SVr4 nor the XSI documentation specify whether the current
+attribute or
+current color-pair of blanks generated by the scroll function is zeroed.
+Under this implementation it is.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
