NAME
cursinwstr: inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr,
mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - get a string of wchart characters from a
curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int inwstr(wchart *str);
int innwstr(wchart *str, int n);
int winwstr(WINDOW *win, wchart *str);
int winnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchart *str, int n);
int mvinwstr(int y, int x, wchart *str);
int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, wchart *str, int n);
int mvwinwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchart *str);
int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchart *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines return a string of wchart 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 charac-
ters. The four functions with n as the last argument return the string
at most n wchart characters long. The string is wchart null ter-
minated if less than n characters are returned.
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 winnwstr may be macros.
