8.6 Output

• int addch(ch)  
  int waddch(win, ch)  
  int mvaddch(y, x, ch)  
  int mvwaddch(win, y, x, ch)  
  These functions are used for character output to a window. They will manipulate the window and you will have to call refresh() to put it on screen. addch(...) and waddch(...) put the character ch in the window or win. mvaddch(...) and mvwaddch(...) do the same except that they move the cursor to position y,x first.
• int addstr(str)  
  int addnstr(str, n)  
  int waddstr(win, str)  
  int waddnstr(win, str, n)  
  int mvaddstr(y, x, str)  
  int mvaddnstr(y, x, str, n)  
  int mvwaddstr(win, y, x, str)  
  int mvwaddnstr(win, y, x, str, n)  
  These functions write a string to a window and are equivalent to series of calls to addch(...). str is a null terminated string ("blafoo\0"). Functions with w write the string str to the window win, while other funcions write to . Functions with n write n characters of str. If n is -1, the entire string str is written.
• int addchstr(chstr)  
  int addchnstr(chstr, n)  
  int waddchstr(win, chstr)  
  int waddchnstr(win, chstr, n)  
  int mvaddchstr(y, x, chstr)  
  int mvaddchnstr(y, x, chstr, n)  
  int mvwaddchstr(win, y, x, chstr)  
  int mvwaddchnstr(win, y, x, chstr, n)  
  These functions copy chstr to the window image ( or win). The starting position is the current cursor position. Functions with n write n characters of chstr. If n is -1, the entire string chstr is written. The cursor is not moved and no control character check is done. These functions are faster than the addstr(...) routines. chstr is a pointer to an array of chtype.
• int echochar(ch)  
  int wechochar(win, ch)  
  The same as call addch(...) (waddch(...) followed by refresh() (wrefresh(win).
