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

Syntax

cc ... -lcurses

#include <curses.h>

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

Description

These routines return the string of wchar_t characters in str starting at the current cursor position in the specified window and ending at the right margin of the window. Attributes are stripped from the characters. The four functions with n as the last argument return the string at most n wchar_t characters long.

Return values

All routines return the integer ERR on failure and an integer value other than ERR on successful completion.

Warning

The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h and unctrl.h.

All routines except winnwstr(S-osr5) can be macros.
