scanw(3cur)															       scanw(3cur)

Name
       scanw, mvscanw, mvwscanw, wscanw - formatted read from window

Syntax
       #include <cursesX.h>

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

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

       int mvscanw(y, x, fmt [, arg] ...)
       int y, x;
       char *fmt;

       int mvwscanw(win, y, x, fmt [, arg] ...)
       WINDOW *win;
       int y, x;
       char *fmt;

Description
       These  routines	correspond  to The function reads input from the default window.  The function reads input from the specified window.  The
       function moves the cursor to the specified position and then reads input from the default window.  The function moves  the  cursor  to  the
       specified position and then reads input from the specified window.

       For  all  the  functions, the routine is called to get a string from the window, and the resulting line is used as input for the scan.  All
       character interpretation is carried out according to the function rules.

Return Values
       Upon successful completion, the and functions return the number of items successfully matched.  On end-of-file, they return EOF.  Otherwise
       they return ERR.

NAME

       curs_scanw, scanw, wscanw, mvscanw, mvwscanw, vwscanw - convert formatted input from a curses widow

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int scanw(char *fmt, /* arg */ ...);

       int wscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, /* arg */ ...);

       int mvscanw(int y, int x, char *fmt, /* arg */ ...);

       int mvwscanw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, /* arg */...);

       int vwscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

DESCRIPTION

       The  scanw(),  wscanw(),  and mvscanw() routines correspond to scanf() (see scanf(3C)). The effect of these routines is as though wgetstr()
       were called on the window, and the resulting line used as input for the scan. Fields which do not map to a variable in the  fmt	field  are
       lost.

       The  vwscanw()  routine	is  similar  to  vwprintw() in that it performs a wscanw() 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 VALUES

       vwscanw() returns ERR on failure and an integer equal to the number of fields scanned on success.

       Applications may interrogate the return value from the scanw, wscanw(), mvscanw(), and mvwscanw()  routines  to	determine  the	number	of
       fields which were mapped in the call.
