NAME

       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.
