NAME

       printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw, vw_printw - print formatted output in curses windows

SYNOPSIS

       #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, varglist);
       int vw_printw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, varglist);

DESCRIPTION

       The  printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are analogous to printf [see printf(3S)].	In effect, the string that would be output
       by printf is output instead as though waddstr were used on the given window.

       The vwprintw routine is analogous to vprintf [see printf(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 VALUE

       Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful com-
       pletion.

PORTABILITY

       The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.  The function vwprintw is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be  replaced  by  a
       function vw_printw using the <stdarg.h> interface.
