CURS_ALECOMPAT(3CURSES)				       CURS_ALECOMPAT(3CURSES)

NAME
       curs_alecompat,	 movenextch,   wmovenextch,  moveprevch,  wmoveprevch,
       adjcurspos, wadjcurspos - these	functions  are	added  to  ALE	curses
       library for moving the cursor by character.

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int movenextch(void);

       int wmovenextch(WINDOW *win);

       int moveprevch(void);

       int wmoveprevch(WINDOW *win);

       int adjcurspos(void);

       int wadjcurspos(WINDOW *win);

DESCRIPTION
       movenextch() and wmovenextch() move the cursor to the next character to
       the right. If the next character is a multicolumn character, the cursor
       is   positioned	on the first (left-most) column of that character. The
       new cursor position will be on the next character, even if  the	cursor
       was  originally	positioned  on	the left-most  column of a multicolumn
       character.  Note that the simple	 cursor	  increment   (++x)  does  not
       guarantee movement to the next character,  if the cursor was originally
       positioned on a multicolumn character. getyx(3CURSES) can  be  used  to
       find the new position.

       moveprevc() and wmoveprevch() routines are the opposite of movenextch()
       and  wmovenextch(), moving the cursor to the left-most  column  of  the
       previous character.

       adjcurspos()  and wadjcurspos() move the cursor to the first(left-most)
       column of the multicolumn character that the cursor is presently on. If
       the  cursor  is	already on  the first column, or if the cursor is on a
       single-column  character,  these routines will have no effect.

RETURN VALUE
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an	integer	 value
       other than ERR upon successful completion.
