Name
       printw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, wprintw - formatted write to a window

Syntax

       int printw(fmt [, arg] ...)
       char *fmt;

       int wprintw(win, fmt [, arg] ...)
       WINDOW *win;

       All  these  routines  are analogous to It is advisable to use the field width options of to avoid leaving unwanted characters on the screen
       from earlier calls.

Return Values
       The and functions return OK on success and ERR on error.

NAME

       printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw, vw_printw - print formatted output in curses windows

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int printw(char *fmt [, arg] ...);
       int wprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt [, arg] ...);
       int mvprintw(int y, int x, char *fmt [, arg] ...);
       int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x,
	     char *fmt [, arg] ...);

       #include <varargs.h>
       int vwprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, varglist);
       int vw_printw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, varglist);

DESCRIPTION

       The  printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are analogous to printf [see printf(3S)].	In effect, the string that would be output
       by printf is output instead as though waddstr were used on the given window.

       The vwprintw routine is analogous to vprintf [see printf(3S)] and performs a wprintw using a variable argument list.  The third argument is
       a va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in <varargs.h>.

RETURN VALUE

       Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful com-
       pletion.

PORTABILITY

       The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.  The function vwprintw is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be  replaced  by  a
       function vw_printw using the <stdarg.h> interface.
