.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBaddwch()\fR, \fBwaddwch()\fR, \fBmvaddwch()\fR, and \fBmvwaddwch()\fR
routines put the character \fIwch\fR, holding a \fBwchar_t\fR character, into
the window at the current cursor position of the window and advance the
position of the window cursor. Their function is similar to that of
\fBputwchar\fR(3C) in the C multibyte library. At the right margin, an
automatic newline is performed. At the bottom of the scrolling region, if
\fBscrollok\fR is enabled, the scrolling region is scrolled up one line.
.sp
.LP
If \fIwch\fR is a tab, newline, or backspace, the cursor is moved
appropriately within the window. A newline also does a \fBclrtoeol\fR(3CURSES)
before moving. Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column. If \fIwch\fR
is another control character, it is drawn in the \fB^\fR\fIX\fR notation.
Calling \fBwinwch\fR(3CURSES) after adding a control character does not return
the control character, but instead returns the representation of the control
character.
.sp
.LP
Video attributes can be combined with a \fBwchar_t\fR character by OR-ing them
into the parameter. This results in these attributes also being set. (The
intent here is that text, including attributes, can be copied from one place to
another using \fBinwch()\fR and \fBaddwch()\fR.) See
\fBstandout\fR(3CURSES), predefined video attribute constants.
.sp
.LP
The \fBechowchar()\fR and \fBwechowchar()\fR routines are functionally
equivalent to a call to \fBaddwch()\fR followed by a call to
\fBrefresh\fR(3CURSES), or a call to \fBwaddwch()\fR followed by a call to
\fBwrefresh\fR(3CURSES). The knowledge that only a single character is being
output is taken into consideration and, for non-control characters, a
considerable performance gain might 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 \fBaddwch()\fR family. When variables are defined
for the terminal, the \fBA_ALTCHARSET\fR bit is turned on. (See
\fBcurs_attr\fR(3CURSES)). Otherwise, the default character listed below is
stored in the variable. The names chosen are consistent with the VT100
nomenclature.
