The resulting value is placed in the area pointed to by the wchar_t pointer wstr. getnwstr() reads at most n wchar_t characters, thus pre- venting 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, CLEAR key, etc.).RETURN VALUEAll routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.ATTRIBUTESSee attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |Unsafe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+SEE ALSOcurses(3CURSES), getwch(3CURSES), attributes(5)NOTESThe header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h>, and <widec.h>.
