They are analogous to \fBputchar\fR(3) in \fBstdio\fR(3). +If the advance is at the right margin: +.bP +The cursor automatically wraps to the beginning of the next line. +.bP +At the bottom of the current scrolling region, +and if \fBscrollok\fR is enabled, +the scrolling region is scrolled up one line. +.bP +If \fBscrollok\fR 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 +.PP +If \fIch\fR is a tab, newline, carriage return or backspace, +the cursor is moved appropriately within the window: +.bP +Backspace moves the cursor one character left; at the left +edge of a window it does nothing. +.bP +Carriage return moves the cursor to the window left margin on the current line. +.bP +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. +.bP +Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column. +The tab interval may be altered by setting the \fBTABSIZE\fR variable. +.PP +If \fIch\fR is any other control character, 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. +.PP +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(3X) and \fBaddch\fR.) See the \fBattr\fR(3NCURSES) page for +values of predefined video attribute constants that can be usefully OR'ed +into characters. +.SS Echoing characters +.PP +The \fBechochar\fR and \fBwechochar\fR routines are equivalent to a call to +\fBaddch\fR followed by a call to \fBrefresh\fR(3X), 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 does not define a terminal-specific +replacement for it, +or if the terminal and locale configuration requires Unicode but the +library is unable to use Unicode. +.PP +The names are taken from VT100 nomenclature. +.PP +.TS +l l l l +l l l l +_ _ _ _ +l l l l. +\fBACS\fR \fBACS\fR \fBacsc\fP \fBGlyph\fR +\fBName\fR \fBDefault\fR \fBchar\fP \fBName\fR +ACS_BLOCK # 0 solid square block +ACS_BOARD # h board of squares +ACS_BTEE + v bottom tee +ACS_BULLET o ~ bullet +ACS_CKBOARD : a checker board (stipple) +ACS_DARROW v . arrow pointing down +ACS_DEGREE ' f degree symbol +ACS_DIAMOND + ` diamond +ACS_GEQUAL > > greater-than-or-equal-to +ACS_HLINE \- q horizontal line +ACS_LANTERN # i lantern symbol +ACS_LARROW < , arrow pointing left +ACS_LEQUAL < y less-than-or-equal-to +ACS_LLCORNER + m lower left-hand corner +ACS_LRCORNER + j lower right-hand corner +ACS_LTEE + t left tee +ACS_NEQUAL ! | not-equal +ACS_PI * { greek pi +ACS_PLMINUS # g plus/minus +ACS_PLUS + n plus +ACS_RARROW > + arrow pointing right +ACS_RTEE + u right tee +ACS_S1 \- o scan line 1 +ACS_S3 \- p scan line 3 +ACS_S7 \- r scan line 7 +ACS_S9 \&_ s scan line 9 +ACS_STERLING f } pound-sterling symbol +ACS_TTEE + w top tee +ACS_UARROW ^ \- arrow pointing up +ACS_ULCORNER + l upper left-hand corner +ACS_URCORNER + k upper right-hand corner +ACS_VLINE | x 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. +.PP +Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using +\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window, +or if the window pointer is null. +.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. +.SS ACS Symbols +.LP +X/Open Curses states that the \fIACS_\fP definitions are \fBchar\fP constants. +For the wide-character implementation (see \fBcurs_add_wch\fP), +there are analogous \fIWACS_\fP definitions which are \fBcchar_t\fP constants. +.LP +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. However, many publicly available terminfos +include \fBacsc\fR strings in which their key characters (pryz{|}) are +embedded, and a second-hand list of their character descriptions has come +to light. The ACS-prefixed names for them were invented for \fBncurses\fR(3NCURSES). +.LP +The \fIdisplayed\fP values for the \fIACS_\fP and \fIWACS_\fP constants +depend on +.bP +the library configuration, i.e., \fBncurses\fP versus \fBncursesw\fP, +where the latter is capable of displaying Unicode while the former is not, and +.bP +whether the \fIlocale\fP uses UTF-8 encoding. +.LP +In certain cases, the terminal is unable to display line-drawing characters +except by using UTF-8 (see the discussion of \fBNCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS\fP in +ncurses(3X)). +.SS Character Set +X/Open Curses assumes that the parameter passed to \fBwaddch\fP contains +a single character. +As discussed in \fBcurs_attr\fP(3X), that character may have been +more than eight bits in an SVr3 or SVr4 implementation, +but in the X/Open Curses model, the details are not given. +The important distinction between SVr4 curses and X/Open Curses is +that the non-character information (attributes and color) was +separated from the character information which is packed in a \fBchtype\fP +to pass to \fBwaddch\fP. +.PP +In this implementation, \fBchtype\fP holds eight bits. +But ncurses allows multibyte characters to be passed in a succession +of calls to \fBwaddch\fP. +The other implementations do not do this; +a call to \fBwaddch\fP passes exactly one character +which may be rendered as one or more cells on the screen +depending on whether it is printable. +.PP +Depending on the locale settings, +ncurses will inspect the byte passed in each call to \fBwaddch\fP, +and check if the latest call will continue a multibyte sequence. +When a character is \fIcomplete\fP, +ncurses displays the character and moves to the next position in the screen. +.PP +If the calling application interrupts the succession of bytes in +a multibyte character by moving the current location (e.g., using \fBwmove\fP), +ncurses discards the partially built character, +starting over again. +.PP +For portability to other implementations, +do not rely upon this behavior: +.bP +check if a character can be represented as a single byte in the current locale +before attempting call \fBwaddch\fP, and +.bP +call \fBwadd_wch\fP for characters which cannot be handled by \fBwaddch\fP. +.SS TABSIZE +.LP +The \fBTABSIZE\fR variable is implemented in some versions of curses, +but is not part of X/Open curses. +.LP +If \fIch\fR is a carriage return, +the cursor is moved to the beginning of the current row of the window. +This is true of other implementations, but is not documented. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBncurses\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBattr\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBclear\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBinch\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBoutopts\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBrefresh\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBcurses_variables\fR(3NCURSES), +\fBputc\fR(3). +.PP +Comparable functions in the wide-character (ncursesw) library are +described in +\fBadd_wch\fR(3NCURSES). |
