NAME
       cursinstr:  instr, innstr, winstr, winnstr, mvinstr, mvinnstr,
       mvwinstr, mvwinnstr - get a string of characters from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int instr(char *str);
       int innstr(char *str, int n);
       int winstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
       int winnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
       int mvinstr(int y, int x, char *str);
       int mvinnstr(int y, int x, char *str, int n);
       int mvwinstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
       int mvwinnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines return a string of characters in str, starting at the
       current cursor position in the named window and ending at the right
       margin of the window.  Attributes are stripped from the characters.
       The four functions with n as the last argument return the string at
       most n characters long.

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>.

       Note that all routines except winnstr may be macros.

SEE ALSO
