NAME
curs_getwstr, getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr, wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr, mvgetnwstr, mvwgetwstr, mvwgetnwstr - get wchar_t character strings from curses terminal keyboard SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ] #include <curses.h> int getwstr(wchar_t *wstr); int getnwstr(wchar_t *wstr, int n); int wgetwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr); int wgetnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr, int n); int mvgetwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr); int mvgetnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n); int mvwgetwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr); int mvwgetnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n); DESCRIPTION
The effect of getwstr() is as though a series of calls to getwch(3CURSES) were made, until a newline and carriage return is received. The resulting value is placed in the area pointed to by the wchar_t pointer wstr. getnwstr() reads at most n wchar_t characters, thus pre- venting a possible overflow of the input buffer. The user's erase and kill characters are interpreted, as well as any special keys (such as function keys, HOME key, CLEAR key, etc.). RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |Unsafe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
curses(3CURSES), getwch(3CURSES), attributes(5) NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h>, and <widec.h>. Note that all routines except wgetnwstr() may be macros. SunOS 5.11 31 Dec 1996 curs_getwstr(3CURSES)
