GETCCHAR 3XCURSES "Jun 5, 2002"
NAME
getcchar - get a wide character string (with rendition) from a cchar_t
SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L  /usr/xpg4/lib \e
 -R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

#include <curses.h>

int getcchar(const cchar_t *wcval, wchar_t *wch, attr_t *attrs,
 short *color_pair,void *opt);
DESCRIPTION

If wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar() function splits the cchar_t object pointed to by wcval into a wide character string, attributes, and a color pair. It stores the attributes in the location pointed to by attrs, the color pair in the location pointed to by color_pair, and the wide character string in the location pointed to by wch.

If wch is a null pointer, the getcchar() function simply returns the number of wide characters in the cchar_t object pointed to by wcval. The objects pointed to by attrs and color_pair are not changed.

PARAMETERS
wcval

Is a pointer to a cchar_t object.

wch

Is a pointer to an object where a wide character string can be stored.

attrs

Is a pointer to an object where attributes can be stored.

color_pair

Is a pointer to an object where a color pair can be stored.

opts

Is reserved for future use. Currently, this must be a null pointer.

RETURN VALUES

When wch is a null pointer, the getcchar() function returns the number of wide characters in the string pointed to by wcval including the null terminator.

When wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar() function returns OK on success and ERR otherwise.

ERRORS

None
