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 wstr, extracted starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
Attributes are stripped from the characters. The four functions with n as the last argument return a leading substring at most n bytes
long (exclusive of the trailing NUL). Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when n bytes have been stored at the location ref-
erenced by wstr.
If the size n is not large enough to store a complete character, an error is generated.
NOTES
Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return ERR upon failure. Upon successful completion, the *inwstr routines return OK, and the *innwstr routines return the num-
ber of characters read into the string.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
the window pointer is null.

Introduction
Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
