CRTL, [w]addch
*Conan The Librarian
|
Add a character to the window at the current position of the
cursor.
Format
#include <curses.h>
int addch (char ch);
int waddch (WINDOW *win, char ch);
win
A pointer to the window.
ch
The character to be added. A new-line character (\n) clears the
line to the end, and moves the cursor to the next line at the
same x coordinate. A return character (\r) moves the cursor to
the beginning of the line on the window. A tab character (\t)
moves the cursor to the next tabstop within the window.
When the waddch function is used on a subwindow, it writes the
character onto the underlying window as well.
The addch routine performs the same function as waddch, but on
the stdscr window.
The cursor is moved after the character is written to the screen.
OK Indicates success.
ERR Indicates that writing the character would
cause the screen to scroll illegally. For more
information, see the scrollok function.
