NAME
       getcchar, setcchar - Get a wide character string and rendition from a cchar_t or set a cchar_t from a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int getcchar(
	       const cchar_t *wcval,
	       wchar_t *wch,
	       attr_t *attrs,
	       short *color_pair,
	       void *opts );

       int setcchar(
	       cchar_t *wcval,
	       const wchar_t *wch,
	       const attr_t attrs,
	       short color_pair,
	       void *opts );

DESCRIPTION
       The  getcchar  function	gets  a wide-character string and rendition from a cchar_t argument.  When wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar
       function does the following:

       -    Extracts information from a cchar_t value wcval

       -    Stores the character attributes in the location pointed to by attrs

       -    Stores the color-pair in the location pointed to by color_pair

       -    Stores the wide-character string, characters referenced by wcval, into the array pointed to by wch.

       When wch is a null pointer, the getcchar function does the following:

       -    Obtains the number of wide characters pointed to by wcval

       -    Does not change the data referenced by attrs or color_pair

       The setcchar function initializes the location pointed to by wcval by using:

       -    The character attributes in attrs

       -    The color pair in color_pair

       -    The wide-character string pointed to by wch.  The string must be L'' terminated, contain at most one spacing character,  which  must
	    be the first.

	    Up to CCHARW_MAX-1 nonspacing characters may follow.  Additional nonspacing characters are ignored.

	    The string may contain a single control character instead.	In that case, no nonspacing characters are allowed.

NOTES
       The opts argument is reserved for future use.  Currently, an application must provide a null pointer as opts.

       The  wcval  argument  may be a value generated by a call to setcchar or by a function that has a cchar_t output argument.  If wcval is con-
       structed by any other means, the effect is unspecified.

RETURN VALUES
       When wch is a null pointer, getcchar returns the number of wide characters referenced by wcval.

       When wch is not a null pointer, getcchar returns OK upon successful completion, and ERR otherwise.

       Upon successful completion, setcchar returns OK.  Otherwise, it returns ERR.
