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 +the ^-representation of the control character. + +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. + +.TS +l l l +_ _ _ +l l l. +\fIName\fR \fIDefault\fR \fIDescription\fR +ACS_BLOCK # solid square block +ACS_BOARD # board of squares +ACS_BTEE + bottom tee +ACS_BULLET o bullet +ACS_CKBOARD : checker board (stipple) +ACS_DARROW v arrow pointing down +ACS_DEGREE ' degree symbol +ACS_DIAMOND + diamond +ACS_GEQUAL > greater-than-or-equal-to +ACS_HLINE - horizontal line +ACS_LANTERN # lantern symbol +ACS_LARROW < arrow pointing left +ACS_LEQUAL < less-than-or-equal-to +ACS_LLCORNER + lower left-hand corner +ACS_LRCORNER + lower right-hand corner +ACS_LTEE + left tee +ACS_NEQUAL ! not-equal +ACS_PI * greek pi +ACS_PLMINUS # plus/minus +ACS_PLUS + plus +ACS_RARROW > arrow pointing right +ACS_RTEE + right tee +ACS_S1 - scan line 1 +ACS_S3 - scan line 3 +ACS_S7 - scan line 7 +ACS_S9 \&_ scan line 9 +ACS_STERLING f pound-sterling symbol +ACS_TTEE + top tee +ACS_UARROW ^ arrow pointing up +ACS_ULCORNER + upper left-hand corner +ACS_URCORNER + upper right-hand corner +ACS_VLINE | vertical line +.TE + +.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. + +Some ACS symbols +(ACS_S3, +ACS_S7, +ACS_LEQUAL, +ACS_GEQUAL, +ACS_PI, +ACS_NEQUAL, +ACS_STERLING) +were not documented in +any publicly released System V.
