NAME
       curs_inwchstr,  inwchstr,  inwchnstr,  winwchstr,  winwchnstr, mvinwchstr, mvinwchnstr, mvwinwchstr, mvwinwchnstr - get a string of wchar_t
       characters (and attributes) from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int inwchstr(chtype *wchstr);

       int inwchnstr(chtype *wchstr, int n);

       int winwchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr);

       int winwchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr, int n);

       int mvinwchstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);

       int mvinwchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr, int n);

       int mvwinwchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);

       int mvwinwchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines return a string of type  chtype, holding	wchar_t characters, starting at the current cursor position in	the  named  window
       and ending at the right margin of the window. The four functions with  n as the last argument, return the string at most  n wchar_t charac-
       ters long. Constants defined in	<curses.h> can be used with the  logical AND  (&)  operator  to  extract  the  wchar_t	character  or  the
       attribute alone from any position in the wchstr (see curs_inwch(3CURSES)).

RETURN VALUE
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h> and <widec.h>.

       Note that all routines except  winwchnstr() may be macros.

       None of these routines can use the color attribute in chtype.
