Description
The routine reads characters from the terminal associated with the default window and stores them in a buffer until a carriage return or
newline is received from The routine B is called by to read each character.
The routine reads characters from the terminal associated with the specified window. The characters are read from the current cursor posi-
tion until a newline or carriage return is received.
The routine reads characters from the terminal associated with the default window. The characters are read from the specified cursor posi-
tion until a newline or carriage return is received.
The routine reads characters from the terminal associated with the specified window. The characters are read from the specified cursor
position until a newline or carriage return is received.
The following information applies to all the routines.
The resulting string is placed in the area pointed to by the character pointer The user's erase and kill characters are interpreted. The
area used to hold the string is assumed to be large enough to handle it, as does not check for buffer overflow. If the area is not large
enough, the result will be unpredictable.
The routines and are macros.
Return Values
The and functions return OK on success and ERR on error.

curs_getstr, getstr, wgetstr, mvgetstr, mvwgetstr, wgetnstr - get character strings from curses terminal keyboard
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
#include <curses.h>
int getstr(char *str);
int wgetstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
int mvgetstr(int y, int x, char *str);
int mvwgetstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
int wgetnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
The effect of getstr() is as though a series of calls to getch() were made, until a newline or carriage return is received. The resulting
value is placed in the area pointed to by the character pointer str. wgetnstr() reads at most n characters, thus preventing 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, and CLEAR key.)
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
