\fBaddch\fR, \fBwaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR, \fBmvwaddch\fR,

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <ncurses.h>\fR

|
|
|
\fBaddch(chtype ch);\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
\fBwaddch(WINDOW *win, chtype ch);\fR

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fBaddch\fR, \fBwaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR and \fBmvwaddch\fR routines put
|
|
the character \fIch\fR into the given window at its current window position,
|
|
which is then advanced. They are analogous to \fBputchar\fR in \fBstdio\fR(3).
|
|
If the advance is at the right margin, the cursor automatically wraps to the
|
|
beginning of the next line. At the bottom of the scrolling region, if
|
|
\fBscrollok\fR is enabled, the scrolling region is scrolled up one line.
|
|
|
|
If \fIch\fR is a tab, newline, or backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately
|
|
within the window. A newline also does a \fBclrtoeol\fR before moving. Tabs
|
|
are considered to be at every eighth column.
|
|
|
|
If \fIch\fR is any control character other than tab, newline, or backspace, it
|
|
is drawn in \fB^\fR\fIX\fR notation. Calling \fBwinch\fR after adding a
|
|
control character does not return the control character, but instead returns
|
|
the representation of the control character. (To emit control characters
|
|
literally, use \fBechochar\fR.)
|
|
|
|
Video attributes can be combined with a character by OR-ing them into the
|
|
parameter. This results in these attributes also being set. (The intent here
|
|
is that text, including attributes, can be copied from one place to another
|
|
using \fBinch\fR and \fBaddch\fR.) [see \fBstandout\fR, predefined video
|
|
attribute constants, on the curs_attr(3) page].
|
|
|
|
The \fBechochar\fR and \fBwechochar\fR routines are functionally equivalent to
|
|
a call to \fBaddch\fR followed by a call to \fBrefresh\fR, or a call to
|
|
\fBwaddch\fR followed by a call to \fBwrefresh\fR. The knowledge that only a
|
|
single character is being output is taken into consideration and, for
|
|
non-control characters, a considerable performance gain might be seen by using
|
|
these routines instead of their equivalents.
|
|
.SS Line Graphics
|
|
The following variables may be used to add line drawing characters to the
|
|
screen with routines of the \fBaddch\fR family. The default character listed
|
|
below is used if the \fBacsc\fR capability doesn't define a terminal-specific
|
|
replacement for it. The names are taken from the the VT100 nomenclature.

.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
|
|
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the
|
|
preceding routine descriptions.

|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Note that \fBaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR, \fBmvwaddch\fR, and
|
|
\fBechochar\fR may be macros.
|
|
|
|
On 386 and 486 consoles, giving \fBwechochar\fR an argument with its high
|
|
bit set will produce the corresponding high-half ASCIIZ graphic (SVr4 curses
|
|
also has this feature but does not document it). A control-character argument,
|
|
however, will not typically produce the corresponding graphic;
|
|
characters such as CR, NL, FF and TAB are typically interpreted by the console
|
|
driver itself, and ESC will be interpreted as the leader of a control sequence.
