NAME
       getcchar - get a wide character string (with rendition) from a cchar_t

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

DESCRIPTION
       If  wch	is  not  a  null  pointer,  the  getcchar()  function splits the  cchar_t object pointed to by wcval into a wide character string,
       attributes, and a color pair. It stores the attributes in the location pointed to by attrs, the color  pair in the location pointed  to	by
       color_pair, and the wide character string in the location pointed to by wch.

       If wch is a null pointer, the getcchar() function simply returns  the number of wide characters in the cchar_t object pointed to by  wcval.
       The objects pointed to by attrs and color_pair are not changed.

PARAMETERS
       wcval	       Is a pointer to a cchar_t object.

       wch	       Is a pointer to an object where a wide character string can be stored.

       attrs	       Is a pointer to an object where attributes can be stored.

       color_pair      Is a pointer to an object where a color pair can be stored.

       opts	       Is reserved for future use. Currently, this must be a null pointer.

RETURN VALUES
       When wch is a null pointer, the getcchar() function returns the	number of wide characters in the string pointed to by wcval including  the
       null terminator.

       When wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar() function	returns  OK on success and ERR otherwise.

ERRORS
       None
