__extern int caca_draw_polyline (caca_canvas_t * cv, int const x[], int const y[], int n, uint32_t ch)

This function never fails.

Parameters

cv The handle to the libcaca canvas.
x Array of X coordinates. Must have n + 1 elements.
y Array of Y coordinates. Must have n + 1 elements.
n Number of lines to draw.
ch UTF-32 character to be used to draw the lines.

Returns

This function always returns 0.

Parameters
