CURSES_ECHOCHAR(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					CURSES_ECHOCHAR(3)

NAME

     curses_echochar, echochar, wechochar, pechochar -- curses add characters and then refresh routines

LIBRARY

     Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <curses.h>

     int
     echochar(const chtype ch);

     int
     wechochar(WINDOW *win, const chtype ch);

     int
     pechochar(WINDOW *pad, const chtype ch);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions add characters to stdscr or to the specified window or pad and then cause an immediate refresh() of that window or pad.

     The echochar() function adds the character given in ch to stdscr at the current cursor position and advances the current cursor position by
     one.  Any character attributes set in ch will be merged with the background attributes currently set on stdscr.  stdscr is then refreshed.
     Calling echochar() is equivalent to calling addch() followed by refresh().

     The wechochar() function is the same as the echochar() function, excepting that the character is added to the window specified by win and win
     is refreshed.

     The pechochar() function is the similar to the echochar() function, excepting that the character is added to the pad specified by pad and pad
     is refreshed at its previous location on the screen.  Calling pechochar() is equivalent to calling addch() followed by prefresh().

RETURN VALUES

     These functions will return one of the following values:

     OK   The function completed successfully.
     ERR  An error occurred in the function.

SEE ALSO

STANDARDS

     The echochar(), wechochar(), and pechochar() functions comply with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the Single Unix Specification.

     The Curses package appeared in 4.0BSD.

NAME

       echochar, wechochar - add a single-byte character and refresh window

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int echochar(const chtype ch);

       int wechochar(WINDOW *win, const chtype ch);

DESCRIPTION

       The  echochar() function produces the same effect as calling  addch(3XCURSES) and then refresh(3XCURSES). The wechochar() function produces
       the same effect as calling  waddch(3XCURSES) and then wrefresh(3XCURSES).

PARAMETERS

       ch     Is a pointer to the character to be written to the window.

       win    Is a pointer to the window in which the character is to be added.

RETURN VALUES

ERRORS

       None.
