+ These functions do not fail if the window contains cells of <EM>curses</EM>
+ complex characters; that is, if they contain characters with codes
+ wider than eight bits (or greater than 255 as an unsigned decimal
integer). They instead extract only the low-order eight bits of the
character code from the cell.
ISO C99. SVr3.2 (1988) added a 6-bit color pair identifier alongside
the attributes.
- X/Open Curses does not specify the sizes of the character code or color
- pair identifier, nor the quantity of attribute bits, in <EM>chtype</EM>; these
- are implementation-dependent. <EM>ncurses</EM> uses eight bits for the
- character code. An application requiring a wider character type, for
- instance to represent Unicode, should use the wide-character
- counterparts of these functions.
