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
#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 );
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses)
DESCRIPTION
These routines return a string of type chtype, holding wchar_t characters, starting at the current or specified cursor position in the cur-
rent or specified 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 characters 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 chstr (see curs_inwch(3)).
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.
Note that all routines except winwchnstr may be macros.
The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specifica-
tion. MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons. Use the *in_wchstr and *in_wchnstr functions in new applications
(see curs_in_wchstr(3)).
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
