curs_inwchstr, inwchstr, inwchnstr, winwchstr, winwchnstr, mvinwchstr,
mvinwchnstr, mvwinwchstr, mvwinwchnstr - Get a string of wchar_t char‐
acters (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 charac‐
ters, 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 specification.
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.
