NAME
       curs_inwchstr,  inwchstr,  inwchnstr,  winwchstr,  winwchnstr, mvinwchstr, mvinwchnstr, mvwinwchstr, mvwinwchnstr - Get a string of wchar_t
       characters (and attributes) from a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int inwchstr(
	       chtype *wchstr ); int inwchnstr(
	       chtype *wchstr,
	       int n ); int winwchstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       chtype *wchstr ); int winwchnstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       chtype *wchstr,
	       int n ); int mvinwchstr(
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       chtype *wchstr ); int mvinwchnstr(
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       chtype *wchstr,
	       int n ); int mvwinwchstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       chtype *wchstr ); int mvwinwchnstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       chtype *wchstr,
	       int n );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

DESCRIPTION
       These routines return a string of type chtype, holding wchar_t characters, starting at the current or specified cursor position in the cur-
       rent or specified window and ending at the right margin of the window.

       The four functions with n as the last argument, return the string at most n wchar_t characters long.

       Constants  defined in <curses.h> can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract the wchar_t character or the attribute alone from
       any position in chstr (see curs_inwch(3)).

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

       Note that all routines except winwchnstr may be macros.

       The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specifica-
       tion. MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons. Use the *in_wchstr and *in_wchnstr functions in new applications
       (see curs_in_wchstr(3)).

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
