+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wget_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvget_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwget_wch</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> is returned. In delay
+ mode, the program waits until the system passes text
+ through to the program. Depending on the setting of
+ <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG>, 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.
+
+ Unless <STRONG>noecho</STRONG> has been set, these routines echo the char-
+ acter into the designated window.
+
+ If the window is not a pad and has been moved or modified
+ since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>, <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> will be called
+ before another character is read.
+
+ If <STRONG>keypad</STRONG> is enabled, these functions respond to the
+ pressing of a function key by setting the object pointed
+ to by <EM>wch</EM> to the corresponding <STRONG>KEY_</STRONG> value defined in
+ <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> and returning <STRONG>KEY_CODE_YES</STRONG>. 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.
+
+ The <STRONG>unget_wch</STRONG> function pushes the wide character <EM>wch</EM> back
+ onto the head of the input queue, so the wide character is
+ returned by the next call to <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG>. The pushback of one
+ character is guaranteed. If the program calls <STRONG>unget_wch</STRONG>
+ too many times without an intervening call to <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG>, the
+ operation may fail.
+
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ The header file <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> automatically includes the
+ header file <STRONG>&lt;stdio.h&gt;</STRONG>.
+
+ Applications should not define the escape key by itself as
+ a single-character function.
+
+ When using <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wget_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvget_wch</STRONG>, or <STRONG>mvwget_wch</STRONG>,
+ applications should not use <STRONG>nocbreak</STRONG> mode and <STRONG>echo</STRONG> mode at
+ the same time. Depending on the state of the tty driver
+ when each character is typed, the program may produce
+ undesirable results.
+
+ All functions except <STRONG>wget_wch</STRONG> and <STRONG>unget_wch</STRONG> may be macros.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
+ When <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wget_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvget_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwget_wch</STRONG> func-
+ tions successfully report the pressing of a function key,
+ they return <STRONG>KEY_CODE_YES</STRONG>. When they successfully report a
+ wide character, they return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. Otherwise, they return
+ <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
+
+ Upon successful completion, <STRONG>unget_wch</STRONG> returns <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. Other-
+ wise, the function returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
