curs_alecompat(3CURSES) 				     Curses Library Functions					   curs_alecompat(3CURSES)

NAME

       curs_alecompat, movenextch, wmovenextch, moveprevch, wmoveprevch, adjcurspos, wadjcurspos - these functions are added to ALE curses library
       for moving the cursor by character.

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int movenextch(void);

       int wmovenextch(WINDOW *win);

       int moveprevch(void);

       int wmoveprevch(WINDOW *win);

       int adjcurspos(void);

       int wadjcurspos(WINDOW *win);

DESCRIPTION

       movenextch() and wmovenextch() move the cursor to the next character to the right. If the next character is a  multicolumn  character,  the
       cursor is  positioned on the first (left-most) column of that character. The new cursor position will be on the next character, even if the
       cursor was originally positioned on the left-most  column of a multicolumn character.  Note that the simple cursor  increment   (++x)  does
       not  guarantee  movement  to the next character,  if the cursor was originally positioned on a multicolumn character. getyx(3CURSES) can be
       used to find the new position.

       moveprevc() and wmoveprevch() routines are the opposite of  movenextch() and  wmovenextch(), moving the cursor to the left-most	column	of
       the previous character.

       adjcurspos() and wadjcurspos() move the cursor to the first(left-most) column of the multicolumn character that the cursor is presently on.
       If the cursor is already on  the first column, or if the cursor is on a single-column  character,  these routines will have no effect.

RETURN VALUE

       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
