+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>addch</STRONG>, <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvaddch</STRONG> and <STRONG>mvwaddch</STRONG> routines put the
+ character <EM>ch</EM> into the given window at its current window
+ position, which is then advanced. 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. The default character listed below is used if the
+ <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> capability doesn't define a terminal-specific
+ replacement for it (but see the EXTENSIONS section below).
+ The names are taken from VT100 nomenclature.

+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
+ success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
+ other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion, unless other-
+ wise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ Note that <STRONG>addch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvaddch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwaddch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>echochar</STRONG> may be
+ macros.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ All these functions are described in the XSI Curses stan-
+ dard, Issue 4. The defaults specified for forms-drawing
+ characters apply in the POSIX locale.
+
+ 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 <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> 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
+ <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>.
+
+ The <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG> variable is implemented in some versions of
+ curses, but is not part of X/Open curses.
