pechochar(3X)                                                 pechochar(3X)

NAME
     pechochar, pechowchar - write a character and rendition and immedi-
     ately refresh the pad

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lcurses [library ...]

     #include <curses.h>

     int pechochar(WINDOW *pad, chtype ch);

     int pechowchar(WINDOW *pad, const cchart *wch);

DESCRIPTION
     The pechochar() and pechowchar() functions output one character to a
     pad and immediately refresh the pad. They are equivalent to a call to
     waddch() or waddwch(), respectively, followed by a call to
     prefresh(). The last location of the pad on the screen is reused for
     the arguments to prefresh().

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they
     return ERR.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.

NOTES
     The pechochar() function is only guaranteed to operate reliably on
     character sets in which each character fits into a single byte, whose
     attributes can be expressed using only constants with the A prefix.

SEE ALSO
     curses(3X), echochar(3X), echochar(3X), newpad(3X), curses(5).
