CURSES_SCANW(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   CURSES_SCANW(3)

NAME

     curses_scanw, scanw, wscanw, mvscanw, mvwscanw -- curses read formatted data from screen routines

LIBRARY

     Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <curses.h>

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

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION

     These functions read formatted data from stdscr or from the specified window.

     The scanw() function is the same as the scanf() function, excepting that the input data stream is read from the current cursor position on
     stdscr,

     The wscanw() function is the same as the scanw() function, excepting that the data stream is read from the window specified by win.

     The mvscanw() and mvwscanw() functions are the same as the scanw() and mvscanw() functions, respectively, excepting that wmove() is called to
     move the cursor to the position specified by y, x before the data is read from the window.

RETURN VALUES

     Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.  The functions that return an int will return one of the following
     values:

     OK   The function completed successfully.
     ERR  An error occurred in the function.

SEE ALSO

     curses_cursor(3), curses_print(3), scanf(3)

STANDARDS

     The NetBSD Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the Single Unix Specification.

HISTORY

     The Curses package appeared in 4.0BSD.
