<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
sor one character left; at the left edge of a window it
does nothing. Newline does a <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG>, then moves the
cursor to the window left margin on the next line,
- scrolling the window if on the last line). Tabs are con-
+ scrolling the window if on the last line. Tabs are con-
sidered to be at every eighth column. The tab interval
may be altered by setting the <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG> variable.
passed to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> or related functions by logical-ORing them
into the character. (Thus, text, including attributes,
can be copied from one place to another using <STRONG>inch</STRONG> and
- <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.)
. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_attr.3x.html">curs_attr(3x)</A></STRONG> page for values of prede-

fined video attribute constants that can be usefully OR'ed
into characters.
The following variables may be used to add line drawing
characters to the screen with routines of the <STRONG>addch</STRONG> fam-
ily. The default character listed below is used if the
- <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> capability doesn't define a terminal-specific
- replacement for it (but see the EXTENSIONS section below).
- The names are taken from VT100 nomenclature.

<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion, unless other-
wise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
+ Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
+ ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
+ outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
+
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG> variable is implemented in some versions of
curses, but is not part of X/Open curses.
+ If <EM>ch</EM> is a carriage return, the cursor is moved to the
+ beginning of the current row of the window. This is true
+ of other implementations, but is not documented.
