\fBwechochar\fR \- add a character (with attributes) to a \fBcurses\fR window, then advance the cursor
.SH SYNOPSIS
(the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine
descriptions.
+.PP
+Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
+\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
+or if the window pointer is null.
.SH NOTES
Note that \fBaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR, \fBmvwaddch\fR, and
\fBechochar\fR may be macros.
All these functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
The defaults specified for forms-drawing characters apply in the POSIX locale.
.LP
+X/Open Curses states that the \fIACS_\fP definitions are \fBchar\fP constants.
+For the wide-character implementation (see \fBcurs_add_wch\fP),
+there are analogous \fIWACS_\fP definitions which are \fBcchar_t\fP constants.
