curs_printw(3X)                  UNIX System V                  curs_printw(3X)


NAME
      cursprintw:  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 valist, 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>.
