NAME
       vw_scanw - 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 <stdarg.h>
       #include <curses.h>

       int vw_scanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

PARAMETERS
       fmt	   Is a scanf() format string.

       varglist    Is a pointer to a list of parameters.

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  vw_scanw()	function  achieves the same effect as wscanw(3XCURSES) using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, as
       defined in <stdarg.h>.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, vw_scanw() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

USAGE
       The vw_scanw() function is preferred over vwscanw(3XCURSES). The use of the vwscanw() and vw_scanw() in the same file will not work, due to
       the requirements to include <varargs.h> and <stdarg.h>, which both contain definitions of va_list.
