Syntax

cc ... -lpanel -lcurses

#include <panel.h>

int show_panel(PANEL *panel);
int hide_panel(PANEL *panel);
int panel_hidden(PANEL *panel);

show_panel- show the specified panel

hide_panel- remove a panel from the panel deck

panel_hidden- return TRUE if the specified panel is in the deck

show_panel(S-osr5) makes panel, previously hidden, visible and places it on top of the deck of panels.

hide_panel(S-osr5) removes panel from the panel deck and, thus, hides it from view. The internal data structure of the panel is retained.

panel_hidden(S-osr5) returns TRUE (1) or FALSE (0) indicating whether or not panel is in the deck of panels.

show_panel( ) and hide_panel( ) return the integer OK upon successful completion or ERR upon error.

The header file panel.h automatically includes the header file curses.h.

show_panel(S-osr5), hide_panel(S-osr5), and panel_hidden(S-osr5) are not part of any currently supported standard; they were developed by UNIX System Laboratories, Inc. and are maintained by The SCO Group.
