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

\fB#include <curses.h>\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 current scrolling region, if
|
|
\fBscrollok\fR is enabled, the scrolling region is scrolled up one line.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIch\fR is a tab, newline, or backspace,
|
|
the cursor is moved appropriately within the window.
|
|
Backspace moves the cursor one character left; at the left
|
|
edge of a window it does nothing.
|
|
Newline does a \fBclrtoeol\fR,
|
|
then moves the cursor to the window left margin on the next line,
|
|
scrolling the window if on the last line.
|
|
Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column.
|
|
The tab interval may be altered by setting the \fBTABSIZE\fR variable.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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 character itself, but instead returns
|
|
the ^-representation of the control character.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Video attributes can be combined with a character argument passed to
|
|
\fBaddch\fR or related functions by logical-ORing them into the character.
|
|
(Thus, text, including attributes, can be copied from one place to another
|
|
using \fBinch\fR and \fBaddch\fR.) See the \fBcurs_attr\fR(3X) page for
|
|
values of predefined video attribute constants that can be usefully OR'ed
|
|
into characters.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBechochar\fR and \fBwechochar\fR routines are 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 used and, for non-control characters, a
|
|
considerable performance gain may 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 VT100 nomenclature.

.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success
|
|
(the SVr4 manuals specify only "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.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
All these functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
|
|
The defaults specified for forms-drawing characters apply in the POSIX locale.
|
|

Some ACS symbols

ACS_S7,

ACS_LEQUAL,
|
|
ACS_GEQUAL,
|
|
ACS_PI,
|
|
ACS_NEQUAL,
|
|
ACS_STERLING)
|
|
were not documented in
|
|
any publicly released System V. However, many publicly available terminfos
|
|
include \fBacsc\fR strings in which their key characters (pryz{|}) are
|
|
embedded, and a second-hand list of their character descriptions has come
|
|
to light. The ACS-prefixed names for them were invented for \fBncurses\fR(3X).
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fBTABSIZE\fR variable is implemented in some versions of curses,
|
|
but is not part of X/Open curses.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If \fIch\fR is a carriage return,
|
|
the cursor is moved to the beginning of the current row of the window.
|
|
This is true of other implementations, but is not documented.
