NAME
       inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - get a string of wchar_t characters from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int inwstr(wchar_t *str);
       int innwstr(wchar_t *str, int n);
       int winwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *str);
       int winnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *str, int n);
       int mvinwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *str);
       int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *str, int n);
       int mvwinwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *str);
       int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These  routines	return	a  string  of  wchar_t	characters in wstr, extracted starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
       Attributes are stripped from the characters.  The four functions with n as the last argument return a leading substring	at  most  n  bytes
       long (exclusive of the trailing NUL).  Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when n bytes have been stored at the location ref-
       erenced by wstr.

       If the size n is not large enough to store a complete character, an error is generated.

NOTES
       Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return ERR upon failure. Upon successful completion, the *inwstr routines return OK, and the *innwstr routines return the num-
       ber of characters read into the string.
