NAME
       getcchar,  setcchar  - Get a wide character string and rendition from a
       cchar_t or set a cchar_t from a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

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

       int setcchar(
	       cchar_t *wcval,
	       const wchar_t *wch,
	       const attr_t attrs,
	       short color_pair,
	       void *opts );

DESCRIPTION
       The getcchar function gets a wide-character string and rendition from a
       cchar_t	argument.   When wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar func‐
       tion does the following:

       ·   Extracts information from a cchar_t value wcval

       ·   Stores the character attributes in the location pointed to by attrs

       ·   Stores the color-pair in the location pointed to by color_pair

       ·   Stores the wide-character string, 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 pointed to by wcval

       ·   Does not change the data referenced by attrs or color_pair

       The  setcchar  function initializes the location 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  string  must  be
	   L'\0' terminated, contain at most one spacing character, which must
	   be the first.

	   Up to CCHARW_MAX-1 nonspacing characters  may  follow.   Additional
	   nonspacing characters are ignored.

	   The string may contain a single control character instead.  In that
	   case, no nonspacing characters are allowed.

NOTES
       The opts argument is reserved for future use.  Currently,  an  applica‐
       tion must provide a null pointer as opts.

       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.

RETURN VALUES
       When wch is a null pointer, getcchar returns the number of wide charac‐
       ters referenced by wcval, including one for a trailing null.

       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.
