NAME

curs_inwstr: inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr − get a string of wchar_t characters from a curses window

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>
int inwstr(wchar_t ∗str);
int innwstr(wchar_t ∗str, int n);
int winwstr(WINDOW ∗win, wchar_t ∗str);
int winnwstr(WINDOW ∗win, wchar_t ∗str, int n);
int mvinwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t ∗str);
int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t ∗str, int n);
int mvwinwstr(WINDOW ∗win, int y, int x, wchar_t ∗str);
int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW ∗win, int y, int x, wchar_t ∗str, int n);

DESCRIPTION

These routines return a string of wchar_t 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 wchar_t 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 winnwstr may be macros.
