curs_printw(3curses) curs_printw(3curses)
NAME
curs_printw: printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw -
print formatted output in curses windows
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
#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, va_list varglist);
DESCRIPTION
The printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are
analogous to printf [see fprintf(3S)]. In effect, the string
that would be output by printf is output instead as though
waddstr was used on the given window.
The vwprintw routine is analogous to vprintf [see fprintf(3S)]
and performs a wprintw using a variable argument list. The
third argument is a va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments,
as defined in varargs.h.
Return Values
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an
integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
