curs_inwstr(3) curs_inwstr(3) NAME inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - get a string(3,n) 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(3,n) of wchar_t characters in(1,8) wstr, extracted starting at the current cursor position in(1,8) the named(5,8) 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 cur- rent line, or when n bytes have been stored at the location referenced by wstr. If the size n is not large enough to store a complete character, an error(8,n) 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 number of characters read(2,n,1 builtins) into the string.
