They are analogous to + <STRONG>putchar</STRONG> in <STRONG><A HREF="stdio.3.html">stdio(3)</A></STRONG>. If the advance is at the right mar- + gin, the cursor automatically wraps to the beginning of + the next line. At the bottom of the current scrolling + region, if <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG> is enabled, the scrolling region is + scrolled up one line. + + If <EM>ch</EM> is a tab, newline, or backspace, the cursor is moved + appropriately within the window. Backspace moves the cur- + sor one character left; at the left edge of a window it + does nothing. Newline does a <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG>, then moves the + cursor to the window left margin on the next line, + scrolling the window if on the last line. Tabs are con- + sidered to be at every eighth column. The tab interval + may be altered by setting the <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG> variable. + + If <EM>ch</EM> is any control character other than tab, newline, or + backspace, it is drawn in <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation. Calling <STRONG>winch</STRONG> + after adding a control character does not return the char- + acter itself, but instead returns the ^-representation of + the control character. + + Video attributes can be combined with a character argument + passed to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> or related functions by logical-ORing them + into the character. (Thus, text, including attributes, + can be copied from one place to another using <STRONG>inch</STRONG> and + <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.) See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_attr.3x.html">curs_attr(3x)</A></STRONG> page for values of prede- + fined video attribute constants that can be usefully OR'ed + into characters. + + The <STRONG>echochar</STRONG> and <STRONG>wechochar</STRONG> routines are equivalent to a + call to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>, or a call to + <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>. 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. + + <STRONG>Line</STRONG> <STRONG>Graphics</STRONG> + The following variables may be used to add line drawing + characters to the screen with routines of the <STRONG>addch</STRONG> fam- + ily.
