.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBaddch()\fR function writes a character to the \fBstdscr\fR window at
the current cursor position. The \fBmvaddch()\fR and \fBmvwaddch()\fR
functions write the character to the position indicated by the \fIx\fR
(column) and \fIy\fR (row) parameters. The \fBmvaddch()\fR function writes the
character to the \fBstdscr\fR window, while \fBmvwaddch()\fR writes the
character to the window specified by \fIwin\fR. The \fBwaddch()\fR function is
identical to \fBaddch()\fR, but writes the character to the window specified
by \fIwin\fR.
.sp
.LP
These functions advance the cursor after writing the character. Characters that
do not fit on the end of the current line are wrapped to the beginning of the
next line unless the current line is the last line of the window and scrolling
is disabled. In that situation, characters which extend beyond the end of the
line are discarded.
.sp
.LP
When \fIch\fR is a backspace, carriage return, newline, or tab, X/Open Curses
moves the cursor appropriately. Each tab character moves the cursor to the next
tab stop. By default, tab stops occur every eight columns. When \fIch\fR is a
control character other than backspace, carriage return, newline, or tab, it
is written using \fB^\fR\fIx\fR notation, where \fIx\fR is a printable
character. When X/Open Curses writes \fIch\fR to the last character position
on a line, it automatically generates a newline. When \fIch\fR is written to
the last character position of a scrolling region and \fBscrollok()\fR is
enabled, X/Open Curses scrolls the scrolling region up one line (see
\fBclearok\fR(3XCURSES)).
