mvscanw(3XCURSES)					  X/Open Curses Library Functions					 mvscanw(3XCURSES)

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. ATTRIBUTES

vwscanw(3XCURSES)					  X/Open Curses Library Functions					 vwscanw(3XCURSES)

NAME
vwscanw - 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 <varargs.h> #include <curses.h> int vwscanw(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 vwscanw() function achieves the same effect as wscanw(3XCURSES) using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, as defined in <varargs.h>. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, vwscanw() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR. ERRORS
No errors are defined. USAGE
The vwscanw() function is deprecated; the vw_scanw(3XCURSES) function is preferred. 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. ATTRIBUTES
