</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>

</PRE><H3><a name="h3-add_wch">add_wch</a></H3><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 follows:

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  <EM>wch</EM>  refers to a spacing character, then any previous 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 after this spacing character, to  prepare  for
           writing the next character on the screen.

           The newly added spacing character is the base of the active complex
           character.  Subsequent non-spacing characters can be combined  with
           this base until another spacing character is written to the screen,
           or the cursor is moved, e.g., using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a non-spacing character, it  is  appended  to  the
           active complex character, retaining the previous characters at that
           location.  The rendition specified by <EM>wch</EM> is ignored.

           The cursor is not advanced after adding  a  non-spacing  character.
           Subsequent calls to add non-spacing characters will update the same
           position.

       <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.


</PRE><H3><a name="h3-echo_wchar">echo_wchar</a></H3><PRE>
       The <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG> function is functionally equivalent to a call to <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>
       followed  by  a  call  to  <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></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
       considerable  performance  gain  might  be  seen  by  using  the *<STRONG>echo</STRONG>*
       functions instead of their equivalents.


</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Line-Graphics">Line Graphics</a></H3><PRE>
       Like <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">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">addch(3x)</A></STRONG>.

       Unicode's  descriptions  for  these  characters  differs  slightly from
       <EM>ncurses</EM>, by introducing the term "light"  (along  with  less  important
       details).   Here are its descriptions for the normal, thick, and double
       horizontal lines:

</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success.

       X/Open  Curses  does  not   specify   any   error   conditions.    This
       implementation returns an error

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the window pointer is null or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if it is not possible to add a complete character in the window.

       The latter may be due to different causes:

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  <STRONG><A HREF="scrollok.3x.html">scrollok(3x)</A></STRONG>  is  not enabled, writing a character at the lower
           right margin succeeds.  However, an error is returned because it is
           not possible to wrap to a new line.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If  an error is detected when converting a multibyte character to a
           sequence of bytes, or if it is not  possible  to  add  all  of  the
           resulting bytes in the window, an error is returned.

       Functions  prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if
       the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.

       These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.  The  defaults
       specified for line-drawing characters apply in the POSIX locale.


</PRE><H3><a name="h3-WACS-Symbols">WACS Symbols</a></H3><PRE>
       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 discussion of <STRONG>border_set</STRONG>.  A
       few implementations are problematic:

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   NetBSD curses defines the symbols as a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> within a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   HP-UX  curses  equates  some  of  the <STRONG>ACS_</STRONG> symbols to the analogous
           <STRONG>WACS_</STRONG> symbols as if the <STRONG>ACS_</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 specify  symbols  for  thick-  or  double-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.

       Not  all  Unicode-capable  terminals  provide  support  for VT100-style
       alternate character  sets  (i.e.,  the  <STRONG>acsc</STRONG>  capability),  with  their
       corresponding  line-drawing  characters.  X/Open Curses did not address
       the  aspect  of  integrating  Unicode  with  line-drawing   characters.
       Existing  implementations of Unix curses (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris) use only
       the <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> character-mapping to provide this feature.  As a result, those
       implementations  can  only  use  single-byte  line-drawing  characters.
       <EM>ncurses</EM> 5.3 (2002) provided a table of Unicode values  to  solve  these
       problems.  NetBSD curses incorporated that table in 2010.

       In  this  implementation,  the  Unicode  values are used instead of the
       terminal description's <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> mapping as discussed in <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> for the
       environment  variable  <EM>NCURSES</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>NO</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>UTF8</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>ACS</EM>.   In contrast, for the same
       cases, the line-drawing characters described in <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">addch(3x)</A></STRONG> will use only
       the ASCII default values.

       Having  Unicode available does not solve all of the problems with line-
       drawing for curses:

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The closest Unicode equivalents to the VT100 graphics  <EM>S1</EM>,  <EM>S3</EM>,  <EM>S7</EM>
           and  <EM>S9</EM> frequently are not displayed at the regular intervals which
           the terminal used.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <EM>lantern</EM> is a special case.  It originated with  the  AT&amp;T  4410
           terminal  in the early 1980s.  There is no accessible documentation
           depicting the lantern symbol on the AT&amp;T terminal.

           Lacking documentation, most readers assume that a <EM>storm</EM> <EM>lantern</EM> was
           intended.  But there are several possibilities, all with problems.

           Unicode  6.0  (2010)  does provide two lantern symbols: U+1F383 and
           U+1F3EE.  Those were not available  in  2002,  and  are  irrelevant
           since  they  lie  outside the BMP and as a result are not generally
           available in terminals.  They are not storm lanterns, in any case.

           Most <EM>storm</EM> <EM>lanterns</EM> have a tapering glass chimney (to guard against
           tipping); some have a wire grid protecting the chimney.

           For  the  tapering  appearance,   U+2603 was adequate.  In use on a
           terminal, no one can tell what the image represents.  Unicode calls
           it a snowman.

           Others have suggested these alternatives: &lt;section&gt; U+00A7 (section
           mark), &lt;Theta&gt; U+0398 (theta), &lt;Phi&gt; U+03A6 (phi),  &lt;delta&gt;  U+03B4
           (delta),  U+2327 (x in a rectangle),  U+256C (forms double vertical
           and horizontal), and  U+2612 (ballot box with x).


</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Complex-Characters">Complex Characters</a></H3><PRE>
       The complex character  type  <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>  can  store  more  than  one  wide
       character  (<STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>).   The  X/Open Curses description does not mention
       this possibility, describing only the cases  where  <EM>wch</EM>  is  a  spacing
       character or a non-spacing character.

       This implementation assumes that <EM>wch</EM> is constructed using <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getcchar.3x.html">setcchar(3x)</A></STRONG>,
       and in turn that the result

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   contains at most one spacing character in the beginning of its list
           of wide characters, and zero or more non-spacing characters or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   may hold one non-spacing character.

       In  the  latter  case,  <EM>ncurses</EM>  adds  the non-spacing character to the
       active (base) spacing character.
