           int wgetscrreg(const WINDOW *win, int *top, int *bottom);

## DESCRIPTION

           ncurses  provides functions returning properties of a WINDOW structure,
           allowing  it  to  be  "opaque"   if   the   application   defines   the
           NCURSES_OPAQUE  preprocessor  symbol.  Opacity in this sense means that
           the members of struct data  types  are  not  directly  accessible  (for
           instance,  through  "." or "->" operators), but instead must be queried
           and/or set  via  library  functions.   Advantages  of  opacity  include
           greater  abstraction  and improved management of concurrent accesses to
           data structures, keeping object states coherent.

           is_cleared
                  returns the value set by clearok(3x).

           is_idcok
                  returns the value set by idcok(3x).

           is_idlok
                  returns the value set by idlok(3x).

           is_immedok
                  returns the value set by immedok(3x).

           is_keypad
                  returns the value set by keypad(3x).

           is_leaveok
                  returns the value set by leaveok(3x).

           is_nodelay
                  returns the value set by nodelay(3x).

           is_notimeout
                  returns the value set by notimeout(3x).

           is_pad returns TRUE if the window is a pad; that is, it was created  by
                  newpad(3x).

           is_scrollok
                  returns the value set by scrollok(3x).

           is_subwin
                  returns  TRUE  if  the  window  is  a subwindow, that is, it was
                  created by subwin(3x) or derwin(3x).

           is_syncok
                  returns the value set by syncok(3x).

           wgetdelay
                  returns the delay timeout set by wtimeout(3x).

           wgetparent
                  returns the parent WINDOW pointer for subwindows,  or  NULL  for
                  windows having no parent.

           wgetscrreg
                  stores  the  top and bottom rows for the scrolling margin set by
                  wsetscrreg(3x) in the  corresponding  arguments,  returning  ERR
                  upon failure and OK upon successful completion.

## RETURN VALUE

           These functions return TRUE or FALSE except as noted.

## NOTES

           ncurses  provides  both  a C function and a preprocessor macro for each
           function documented in this page.

## EXTENSIONS

           These functions originated with ncurses.

## PORTABILITY

           Applications employing ncurses extensions should condition their use on
           the visibility of the NCURSES_VERSION preprocessor macro.

           NetBSD  curses  since  10.1  (2024)  supports  wgetscr_reg.   It   also
           implements getscr_reg, operating on stdscr.
