mvscanw(3XCURSES)					  X/Open Curses Library Functions					 mvscanw(3XCURSES)

NAME

       mvscanw, mvwscanw, scanw, wscanw - convert formatted input from a window

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib 
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ 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, ...);

PARAMETERS

       y		       Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to be read.

       x		       Is the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character to be read.

       fmt		       Is a scanf() format string.

       win		       Is a pointer to the window in which the character is to be read.

DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  are  similar to scanf(3C). Their effect is as though mvwgetstr(3XCURSES) were called to get a multi-byte character string
       from the current or specified window at the current or specified cursor position, and then sscanf() were used to interpret and convert that
       string.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
