These functions add characters to
stdscr or to the specified window or pad and then cause an immediate
refresh() of that window or pad.
The
echochar() function adds the character given in
ch to
stdscr at the current cursor position and advances the current cursor position by one. Any character attributes set in
ch will be merged with the background attributes currently set on
stdscr.
stdscr is then refreshed. Calling
echochar() is equivalent to calling
addch() followed by
refresh().
The
wechochar() function is the same as the
echochar() function, excepting that the character is added to the window specified by
win and
win is refreshed.
The
pechochar() function is the similar to the
echochar() function, excepting that the character is added to the pad specified by
pad and
pad is refreshed at its previous location on the screen. Calling
pechochar() is equivalent to calling
addch() followed by
prefresh().
