</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvadd_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwadd_wch</STRONG> functions
put the complex character <EM>wch</EM> into the given window at its
current position, which is then advanced. These functions
perform wrapping and special-character processing as fol-
lows:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a spacing character, then any previ-
ous character at that location is removed. A new
character specified by <EM>wch</EM> is placed at that location
with rendition specified by <EM>wch</EM>. The cursor then
advances to the next spacing character on the screen.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a non-spacing character, all previous
characters at that location are preserved. The non-
spacing characters of <EM>wch</EM> are added to the spacing
complex character, and the rendition specified by <EM>wch</EM>
is ignored.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> If the character part of <EM>wch</EM> is a tab, newline,
backspace or other control character, the window is
updated and the cursor moves as if <STRONG>addch</STRONG> were called.
The <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG> function is functionally equivalent to a
call to <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>. Similarly,
the <STRONG>wecho_wchar</STRONG> is functionally equivalent to a call to
<STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>. The knowledge
that only a single character is being output is taken into
consideration and, for non-control characters, a consider-
able performance gain might be seen by using the *<STRONG>echo</STRONG>*
functions instead of their equivalents.
<STRONG>Line</STRONG> <STRONG>Graphics</STRONG>
Like <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG>addch_wch</STRONG> accepts symbols which make it
simple to draw lines and other frequently used special
characters. These symbols correspond to the same VT100
line-drawing set as <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG>.

</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
success.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
Note that <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvadd_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwadd_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG>
may be macros.
</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
All of these functions are described in the XSI Curses
standard, Issue 4. The defaults specified for line-draw-
ing characters apply in the POSIX locale.
X/Open Curses makes it clear that the WACS_ symbols should
be defined as a pointer to <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> data, e.g., in the dis-
cussion of <STRONG>border_set</STRONG>. A few implementations are problem-
atic:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> NetBSD curses defines the symbols as a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> within
a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> HPUX curses equates some of the <EM>ACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols to the
analogous <EM>WACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols as if the <EM>ACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols were
wide characters. The misdefined symbols are the
arrows and other symbols which are not used for line-
drawing.
X/Open Curses does not define symbols for thick- or dou-
ble-lines. SVr4 curses implementations defined their
line-drawing symbols in terms of intermediate symbols.
This implementation extends those symbols, providing new
definitions which are not in the SVr4 implementations.
