get_wch(3NCURSES) get_wch(3NCURSES)
NAME
get_wch, wget_wch, mvget_wch, mvwget_wch, unget_wch - get (or push back) a wide character
from curses terminal keyboard
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int get_wch(wint_t *wch);
int wget_wch(WINDOW *win, wint_t *wch);
int mvget_wch(int y, int x, wint_t *wch);
int mvwget_wch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wint_t *wch);
int unget_wch(const wchar_t wch);
DESCRIPTION
The get_wch, wget_wch, mvget_wch, and mvwget_wch functions read a character from the ter-
minal associated with the current or specified window. In no-delay mode, if no input is
waiting, the value ERR is returned. In delay mode, the program waits until the system
passes text through to the program. Depending on the setting of cbreak, this is after one
character (cbreak mode), or after the first newline (nocbreak mode). In half-delay mode,
the program waits until the user types a character or the specified timeout interval has
elapsed.
Unless noecho has been set, these routines echo the character into the designated window.
If the window is not a pad and has been moved or modified since the last call to wrefresh,
wrefresh will be called before another character is read.
If keypad is enabled, these functions respond to the pressing of a function key by setting
the object pointed to by wch to the corresponding KEY_ value defined in <curses.h> and
returning KEY_CODE_YES. If a character (such as escape) that could be the beginning of a
function key is received, curses sets a timer. If the remainder of the sequence does
arrive within the designated time, curses passes through the character; otherwise, curses
returns the function key value. For this reason, many terminals experience a delay
between the time a user presses the escape key and the time the escape is returned to the
program.
The unget_wch function pushes the wide character wch back onto the head of the input
queue, so the wide character is returned by the next call to get_wch. The pushback of one
character is guaranteed. If the program calls unget_wch too many times without an inter-
vening call to get_wch, the operation may fail.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.
Applications should not define the escape key by itself as a single-character function.
When using get_wch, wget_wch, mvget_wch, or mvwget_wch, applications should not use
nocbreak mode and echo mode at the same time. Depending on the state of the tty driver
when each character is typed, the program may produce undesirable results.
All functions except wget_wch and unget_wch may be macros.
RETURN VALUES
When get_wch, wget_wch, mvget_wch, and mvwget_wch functions successfully report the press-
ing of a function key, they return KEY_CODE_YES. When they successfully report a wide
character, they return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
Upon successful completion, unget_wch returns OK. Otherwise, the function returns ERR.
