curs_printw(3X)

NAME

curs_printw: printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw − print formatted output in curses windows

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>
int printw(char ∗fmt [, arg] ...);
int wprintw(WINDOW ∗win, char ∗fmt [, arg] ...);
int mvprintw(int y, int x, char ∗fmt [, arg] ...);
int mvwprintw(WINDOW ∗win, int y, int x,
char ∗fmt [, arg] ...);
#include <varargs.h>
int vwprintw(WINDOW ∗win, char ∗fmt, varglist);

DESCRIPTION

The printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are analogous to printf [see printf(3S)]. In effect, the string that would be output by printf is output instead as though waddstr were used on the given window.

The vwprintw routine is analogous to vprintf [see vprintf(3S)] and performs a wprintw using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in <varargs.h>.

RETURN VALUE

All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

NOTES

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
