mvscanw(3X)                                                     mvscanw(3X)

NAME
     mvscanw, mvwscanw, scanw, wscanw - convert formatted input from a win-
     dow

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lcurses [library ...]

     #include <curses.h>

     int mvscanw(int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);

     int mvwscanw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);

     int scanw(char *fmt, ...);

     int wscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, ...);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions are similar to scanf(). Their effect is as though
     mvwgetstr() were called to get a multi-byte character string from the
     current or specified window at the current or specified cursor posi-
     tion, and then sscanf() were used to interpret and convert that
     string.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they
     return ERR.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.
