.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBadd_wch()\fR function writes a complex character to the \fBstdscr\fR
window at the current cursor position.  The \fBmvadd_wch()\fR and
\fBmvwadd_wch()\fR functions write the character  to the position indicated by
the \fIx\fR (column) and \fIy\fR (row) parameters. The \fBmvadd_wch()\fR
function writes the character to the \fBstdscr\fR window, while
\fBmvwadd_wch()\fR writes the character to the window specified  by \fIwin\fR.
The \fBwadd_wch()\fR function is identical to \fBadd_wch()\fR, but writes the
character to the window specified by \fIwin\fR.  These functions advance the
cursor after writing the character.
.sp
.LP
If \fIwch\fR is a spacing complex character, X/Open Curses replaces any
previous  character at the specified location with \fIwch\fR (and its
rendition). If \fIwch\fR is a non-spacing complex character, X/Open Curses
preserves all existing characters at the specified location and adds the
non-spacing  characters of \fIwch\fR to the spacing complex character. It
ignores the  rendition associated with \fIwch\fR.
.sp
.LP
Characters that do not fit on the end of the current line are wrapped to the
beginning of the next line unless the current line is the last line of the
window and scrolling is disabled. In that situation, X/Open Curses discards
characters which extend beyond the end  of the line.
.sp
.LP
When \fIwch\fR is a backspace, carriage return, newline, or tab, X/Open Curses
moves the cursor appropriately as described in the \fBcurses\fR(3XCURSES) man
page. Each tab character moves the cursor to the next tab stop. By default, tab
stops occur every eight columns. When \fIwch\fR is a control character other
than a backspace, carriage return, newline, or tab, it is written using
\fB^\fR\fIx\fR notation, where \fIx\fR is a printable character. When X/Open
Curses writes \fIwch\fR to the last character position on a line, it
automatically generates a newline. When \fI wch\fR is written to the last
character position of a scrolling region and \fBscrollok()\fR is enabled,
X/Open Curses scrolls the scrolling region up one line (see
\fBclearok\fR(3XCURSES)).
