VW_SCANW(3XCURSES)VW_SCANW(3XCURSES)NAMEvw_scanw - convert formatted input from a window
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]
c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <curses.h>
int vw_scanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);
PARAMETERS
fmt
Is a scanf() format string.
varglist
Is a pointer to a list of parameters.
win
Is a pointer to the window in which the character is to be
read.
DESCRIPTION
The vw_scanw() function achieves the same effect as wscanw(3XCURSES)
using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, as
defined in <stdarg.h>.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, vw_scanw() returns OK. Otherwise, it
returns ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
USAGE
The vw_scanw() function is preferred over vwscanw(3XCURSES). The use of
the vwscanw() and vw_scanw() in the same file will not work, due to the
requirements to include <varargs.h> and <stdarg.h>, which both contain
definitions of va_list.
