+get (or push back) a wide character from \fIcurses\fR terminal keyboard
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <ncursesw/curses.h>
+.PP
+\fBint get_wch(wint_t *\fIwch\fP);
+\fBint wget_wch(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP, wint_t *\fIwch\fP);
+\fBint mvget_wch(int \fIy\fP, int \fIx\fP, wint_t *\fIwch\fP);
+\fBint mvwget_wch(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP, int \fIy\fP, int \fIx\fP, wint_t *\fIwch\fP);
+.PP
+\fBint unget_wch(const wchar_t \fIwch\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS wget_wch
+The
+\fBget_wch\fP,
+\fBwget_wch\fP,
+\fBmvget_wch\fP, and
+\fBmvwget_wch\fP
+functions read a character
+from the terminal associated with the current or specified window.
+In no-delay mode,
+if no input is waiting, the value \fBERR\fP is returned.
+In delay mode,
+the program waits until the system passes text through to the program.
+Depending on the setting of \fBcbreak\fP,
+this is after one character (cbreak mode),
+or after the first newline (nocbreak mode).
+In half-delay mode,
+the program waits until the user types a character or the specified
+timeout interval has elapsed.
+.PP
+Unless \fBnoecho\fP has been set,
+these routines echo the character into the designated window.
+.PP
+If the window is not a pad and has been moved or modified since the
+last call to \fBwrefresh\fP,
+\fBwrefresh\fP will be called before another character is read.
+.PP
+If \fBkeypad\fP is enabled,
+these functions respond to
+the pressing of a function key by setting the object pointed to by
+\fIwch\fP
+to the keycode assigned to the function key,
+and returning \fBKEY_CODE_YES\fP.
+If a character (such as escape) that could be the
+beginning of a function key is received, curses sets a timer.
+If the remainder
+of the sequence does arrive within the designated time, curses passes through
+the character; otherwise, curses returns the function key value.
+For this
+reason, many terminals experience a delay between the time a user presses
+the escape key and the time the escape is returned to the program.
+.PP
+The keycodes returned by these functions are the same as those
+returned by \fBwgetch\fP:
+.bP
+The predefined function
+keys are listed in \fB<curses.h>\fP as macros with values outside the range
+of 8-bit characters.
+Their names begin with \fBKEY_\fP.
+.bP
+Other (user-defined) function keys
+which may be defined using \fB\%define_key\fP(3NCURSES) have no names,
+but also are expected to have values outside the range of 8-bit characters.
+.SS unget_wch
+The
+\fBunget_wch\fP
+function pushes the wide character
+\fIwch\fP
+back onto the head of the input queue, so the wide character
+is returned by the next call to
+\fBget_wch\fP.
+The pushback of
+one character is guaranteed.
+If the program calls
+\fBunget_wch\fP
+too many times without an intervening call to
+\fBget_wch\fP,
+the operation may fail.
+.PP
+Unlike \fBungetch\fP and \fBwgetch\fP,
+\fBunget_wch\fP cannot distinguish special characters
+returned by \fBwget_wch\fP from ordinary characters.
+An application can push special keys
+which it may read via \fBwget_wch\fP
+by checking for the \fBKEY_CODE_YES\fP result,
+and using \fBungetch\fP for those special keys.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+When
+\fBget_wch\fP,
+\fBwget_wch\fP,
+\fBmvget_wch\fP, and
+\fBmvwget_wch\fP
+functions successfully
+report the pressing of a function key, they return
+\fBKEY_CODE_YES\fP.
+When they successfully report a wide character, they return
+\fBOK\fP.
+Otherwise, they return
+\fBERR\fP.
+.PP
+Upon successful completion,
+\fBunget_wch\fP
+returns
+\fBOK\fP.
+Otherwise, the function returns
+\fBERR\fP.
+.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
+Applications should not define the escape key by itself as a single-character
+function.
+.PP
+When using
+\fBget_wch\fP,
+\fBwget_wch\fP,
+\fBmvget_wch\fP, or
+\fBmvwget_wch\fP, applications should
+not use
+\fBnocbreak\fP
+mode and
+\fBecho\fP
+mode
+at the same time.
+Depending on the state of the tty driver when each character
+is typed, the program may produce undesirable results.
+.PP
+All of these functions except
+\fB\%wget_wch\fP and
+\fB\%unget_wch\fP
+may be implemented as macros.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
