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
On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES

inch(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions inch(3XCURSES) NAME
inch, mvinch, mvwinch, winch - return a single-byte character (with rendition) 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> chtype inch(void); chtype mvinch(int y, int x); chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x); chtype winch(WINDOW *win); DESCRIPTION
The inch() and winch() functions return the chtype character located at the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win, respectively. The mvinch() and mvwinch() functions return the chtype character located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win). The complete character/attribute pair will be returned. The character or attributes can be extracted by performing a bitwise AND on the returned value, using the constants A_CHARTEXT, A_ATTRIBUTES, and A_COLOR. PARAMETERS
y Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to be returned. x Is the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character to be returned. win Is a pointer to the window that contains the character to be returned. RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return the specified character and rendition. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES
