.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBaddch\fR, \fBwaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR and \fBmvwaddch\fR routines put
|
|
|
|
|
the character \fIch\fR into the given window at its current window position,
|
|
|
|
|
which is then advanced. They are analogous to \fBputchar\fR in \fBstdio\fR(3).
|
|
|
|
|
If the advance is at the right margin, the cursor automatically wraps to the
|
|
|
|
|
beginning of the next line. At the bottom of the current scrolling region, if
|
|
|
|
|
\fBscrollok\fR is enabled, the scrolling region is scrolled up one line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If \fIch\fR is a tab, newline, or backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately
|
|
|
|
|
within the window. Backspace moves the cursor one character left; at the left
|
|
|
|
|
edge of a window it does nothing. Newline does a \fBclrtoeol\fR, then moves
|
|
|
|
|
the cursor to the window left margin on the next line, scrolling the window if
|
|
|
|
|
on the last line). Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If \fIch\fR is any control character other than tab, newline, or backspace, it
|
|
|
|
|
is drawn in \fB^\fR\fIX\fR notation. Calling \fBwinch\fR after adding a
|
|
|
|
|
control character does not return the character itself, but instead returns
|
1999-10-24 12:32:42 +08:00
|
|
|
the ^-representation of the control character.
|
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Video attributes can be combined with a character argument passed to
|
|
|
|
|
\fBaddch\fR or related functions by logical-ORing them into the character.
|
|
|
|
|
(Thus, text, including attributes, can be copied from one place to another
|
|
|
|
|
using \fBinch\fR and \fBaddch\fR.). See the \fBcurs_attr\fR(3X) page for
|
|
|
|
|
values of predefined video attribute constants that can be usefully OR'ed
|
|
|
|
|
into characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBechochar\fR and \fBwechochar\fR routines are equivalent to a call to
|
|
|
|
|
\fBaddch\fR followed by a call to \fBrefresh\fR, or a call to \fBwaddch\fR
|
|
|
|
|
followed by a call to \fBwrefresh\fR. The knowledge that only a single
|
|
|
|
|
character is being output is used and, for non-control characters, a
|
|
|
|
|
considerable performance gain may be seen by using these routines instead of
|
|
|
|
|
their equivalents.
|
|
|
|
|
.SS Line Graphics
|
|
|
|
|
The following variables may be used to add line drawing characters to the
|
|
|
|
|
screen with routines of the \fBaddch\fR family. The default character listed
|
|
|
|
|
below is used if the \fBacsc\fR capability doesn't define a terminal-specific
|
|
|
|
|
replacement for it (but see the EXTENSIONS section below). The names are
|
|
|
|
|
taken from VT100 nomenclature.

.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success
|
|
|
|
|
(the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
|
|
|
|
|
successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine
|
|
|
|
|
descriptions.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
|
Note that \fBaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR, \fBmvwaddch\fR, and
|
|
|
|
|
\fBechochar\fR may be macros.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH 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.

include \fBacsc\fR strings in which their key characters (pryz{|}) are
