add_wch(3NCURSES)														 add_wch(3NCURSES)

NAME

       add_wch,  wadd_wch, mvadd_wch, mvwadd_wch, echo_wchar, wecho_wchar - add a complex character and rendition to a curses window, then advance
       the cursor

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int add_wch( const cchar_t *wch );
       int wadd_wch( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch );
       int mvadd_wch( int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch );
       int mvwadd_wch( WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch );
       int echo_wchar( const cchar_t *wch );
       int wecho_wchar( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch );

DESCRIPTION

       The add_wch, wadd_wch, mvadd_wch, and mvwadd_wch functions put the complex character wch into the given window  at  its	current  position,
       which is then advanced.	These functions perform wrapping and special-character processing as follows:

       -    If	wch  refers  to a spacing character, then any previous character at that location is removed.  A new character specified by wch is
	    placed at that location with rendition specified by wch.  The cursor then advances to the next spacing character on the screen.

       -    If wch refers to a non-spacing character, all previous characters at that location are preserved.  The non-spacing characters  of  wch
	    are added to the spacing complex character, and the rendition specified by wch is ignored.

       -    If the character part of wch is a tab, newline, backspace or other control character, the window is updated and the cursor moves as if
	    addch were called.

       The echo_wchar function is functionally equivalent to a call to add_wch followed by a call to refresh.  Similarly, the wecho_wchar is func-
       tionally  equivalent  to  a call to wadd_wch followed by a call to wrefresh.  The knowledge that only a single character is being output is
       taken into consideration and, for non-control characters, a considerable performance gain might be  seen  by  using  the  *echo*  functions
       instead of their equivalents.

RETURN VALUES

       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success.

NOTES

       Note that add_wch, mvadd_wch, mvwadd_wch, and echo_wchar may be macros.

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.

       XSI documents constants beginning with WACS_ which are used for line-drawing.  Those are not currently implemented in ncurses.
