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

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.

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.
