<HEAD>
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
- <STRONG>putchar</STRONG> in <STRONG><A HREF="stdio.3.html">stdio(3)</A></STRONG>. If the advance is at the right mar-
- gin, the cursor automatically wraps to the beginning of
- the next line. At the bottom of the current scrolling
- region, if <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG> is enabled, the scrolling region is
- scrolled up one line.

+ gin:

+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> At the bottom of the current scrolling region, and if

+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG> is not enabled, writing a character at the
+ lower right margin succeeds. However, an error is
+ 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. Backspace moves the cur-
- 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-
- sidered to be at every eighth column. The tab interval
- may be altered by setting the <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG> variable.
