</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><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 fol-
       lows:

       -    If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a spacing character, then any previ-
            ous  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 to the next spacing character on the screen.

       -    If  <EM>wch</EM> refers to a non-spacing character, all previ-
            ous characters at that location are  preserved.   The
            non-spacing  characters of <EM>wch</EM> are added to the spac-
            ing complex character, and the rendition specified by
            <EM>wch</EM> is ignored.

       -    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><A HREF="addch.3x.html">addch(3x)</A></STRONG> were
            called.

       The <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG> function is functionally  equivalent  to  a
       call to <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</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 consider-
       able performance gain might be seen by  using  the  *<STRONG>echo</STRONG>*
       functions instead of their equivalents.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
       All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
       success.



</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       Note that <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvadd_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwadd_wch</STRONG>,  and  <STRONG>echo_wchar</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.

       XSI  documents  constants  beginning  with <STRONG>WACS_</STRONG> which are
       used for line-drawing.  Those  are  not  currently  imple-
       mented in <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>.
