The getcchar function gets a wide-character string and rendition from a cchar_t argument. When wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar function does the following: Extracts information from a cchar_t type defined for wcval Stores the character attributes in the object pointed to by attrs Stores the color-pair in the object pointed to by color_pair Stores the wide-character string, both spacing and nonspacing characters referenced by wcval, into the array pointed to by wch.
When wch is a null pointer, the getcchar function does the following: Obtains the number of wide characters, both spacing and non-spacing characters, in the object pointed to by wcval Does not change the objects pointed to by attrs or color_pair
The setcchar function initializes the object pointed to by wcval by using: The character attributes in attrs The color pair in color_pair The wide-character string pointed to by wch
The wch value should contain either a spacing character, followed by nonspacing characters, or just the nonspacing characters.
The
opts
argument is reserved for future
use. Currently, an application must provide a null pointer as
opts.
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.
The
wcval
argument may be a value generated
by a call to
setcchar
or by a function that has a
cchar_t
output argument. If
wcval
is
constructed by any other means, the effect is unspecified.
When wch is a null pointer, getcchar returns the number of wide characters referenced by wcval, including the null terminator.
When wch is not a null pointer, getcchar returns OK upon successful completion, and ERR otherwise.
Upon successful completion,
setcchar
returns
OK. Otherwise, it returns
ERR.
