NAME
       curs_getcchar, 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 );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

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 type defined for wcval Stores  the  character  attributes  in  the  object
       pointed	to  by	attrs Stores the color-pair in the object pointed to by color_pair Stores the wide-character string, both spacing and non-
       spacing 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, both spacing  and  non-spacing
       characters, in the object pointed to by wcval Does not change the objects pointed to by attrs or color_pair

       The  setcchar  function initializes the object 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 wch value should contain either a spacing character, followed by nonspacing characters, or just the nonspacing characters.

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

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

       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, including the null terminator.

       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.
