The <STRONG>addch</STRONG>, <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvaddch</STRONG> and <STRONG>mvwaddch</STRONG> routines put the
character <EM>ch</EM> into the given window at its current window
position, which is then advanced. They are analogous to
returned because it is not possible to wrap to a new
line
- If <EM>ch</EM> is a tab, newline, or backspace, the cursor is moved
- appropriately within the window:
+ If <EM>ch</EM> is a tab, newline, carriage return or backspace, the
+ cursor is moved appropriately within the window:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> Backspace moves the cursor one character left; at the
left edge of a window it does nothing.
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> Newline does a <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG>, then moves the cursor to the
- window left margin on the next line, scrolling the

+ margin on the current line.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> 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.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column. The
- tab interval may be altered by setting the <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>
+ tab interval may be altered by setting the <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>
variable.
- If <EM>ch</EM> is any control character other than tab, newline, or
- backspace, it is drawn in <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation. Calling <STRONG>winch</STRONG>
- after adding a control character does not return the char-
- acter itself, but instead returns the ^-representation of
- the control character.
+ If <EM>ch</EM> is any other control character, it is drawn in <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM>
+ notation. Calling <STRONG>winch</STRONG> after adding a control character
+ does not return the character itself, but instead returns
+ the ^-representation of the control character.
Video attributes can be combined with a character argument
passed to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> or related functions by logical-ORing them
fined video attribute constants that can be usefully OR'ed
into characters.

The <STRONG>echochar</STRONG> and <STRONG>wechochar</STRONG> routines are equivalent to a
call to <STRONG>addch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>, or a call to
<STRONG>waddch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>. The knowledge that
may be seen by using these routines instead of their
equivalents.
