Curses Library Functions                  cursalecompat(3CURSES)



NAME
     cursalecompat, movenextch,  wmovenextch,  moveprevch,  wmo-
     veprevch,  adjcurspos,  wadjcurspos  -  these  functions are
     added to ALE curses library for moving the cursor by charac-
     ter.

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
     #include 

     int movenextch(void);


     int wmovenextch(WINDOW *win);


     int moveprevch(void);


     int wmoveprevch(WINDOW *win);


     int adjcurspos(void);


     int wadjcurspos(WINDOW *win);


DESCRIPTION
     movenextch() and wmovenextch() move the cursor to  the  next
     character  to  the  right.  If  the next character is a mul-
     ticolumn character, the cursor is  positioned on  the  first
     (left-most)  column  of that character. The new cursor posi-
     tion will be on the next character, even if the  cursor  was
     originally  positioned  on  the  left-most  column of a mul-
     ticolumn character.  Note that the simple cursor   increment
     (]x) does not guarantee movement to the next character,  if
     the cursor was originally positioned on a multicolumn  char-
     acter. getyx(3CURSES) can be used to find the new position.


     moveprevc() and wmoveprevch() routines are the  opposite  of
     movenextch()  and   wmovenextch(),  moving the cursor to the
     left-most column of the previous character.


     adjcurspos()  and  wadjcurspos()  move  the  cursor  to  the
     first(left-most)  column  of  the multicolumn character that
     the cursor is presently on. If the cursor is already on  the
     first  column, or if the cursor is on a single-column  char-
     acter,  these routines will have no effect.
