#include <curses.h>
int getcchar(const cchar_t *wcval, wchar_t *wch, attr_t *attrs, short
*color_pair, void *opt);
DESCRIPTION
If wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar() function splits the
cchar_t object pointed to by wcval into a wide character string,
attributes, and a color pair. It stores the attributes in the location
pointed to by attrs, the color pair in the location pointed to by
color_pair, and the wide character string in the location pointed to by
wch.
If wch is a null pointer, the getcchar() function simply returns the
number of wide characters in the cchar_t object pointed to by wcval.
The objects pointed to by attrs and color_pair are not changed.
PARAMETERS
wcval Is a pointer to a cchar_t object.
wch Is a pointer to an object where a wide character string
can be stored.
attrs Is a pointer to an object where attributes can be
stored.
color_pair Is a pointer to an object where a color pair can be
stored.
opts Is reserved for future use. Currently, this must be a
null pointer.
RETURN VALUES
When wch is a null pointer, the getcchar() function returns the number
of wide characters in the string pointed to by wcval including the
null terminator.
When wch is not a null pointer, the getcchar() function returns OK on
success and ERR otherwise.
ERRORS
None
