I'm not sure that just because you don't call it directly it means that
it should not be documented, you still need to use some times, see:

On that I will agree.

First one would have to find the source... wasn't drawterm(2k) supposed
to move to sources?

I know f2f had the source in his site, but it's not linked from
anywhere, and I can't recall the address, and that was a while ago, so
who knows if the code is up to date?

The stuff in /sys/src/cmd/unix/drawterm looks quite outdated.
