NAME

pechochar, pecho_wchar — write a character and rendition and immediately refresh the pad

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int pechochar(WINDOW *pad, chtype ch);

int pecho_wchar(WINDOW *pad, const cchar_t *wch);

DESCRIPTION

The pechochar() and pecho_wchar()

functions output one character to a pad and immediately

refresh the pad. They are equivalent to a call to

waddch() or wadd_wch(), respectively, followed by a

call to

prefresh(). The last location of the pad on the screen is reused for the arguments to

prefresh().

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

No errors are deﬁned.

APPLICATION USAGE

The

pechochar() function is only guaranteed to operate reliably on character sets in which each char-

acter ﬁts into a single byte, whose attributes can be expressed using only constants with the A_ preﬁx.
