getcchar(3NCURSES)					    getcchar(3NCURSES)

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.

       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.
