Curses Library Functions                   curs_inwchstr(3CURSES)



NAME
     curs_inwchstr, inwchstr, inwchnstr,  winwchstr,  winwchnstr,
     mvinwchstr,  mvinwchnstr,  mvwinwchstr, mvwinwchnstr - get a
     string of wchar_t characters (and attributes) from a  curses
     window

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
     #include 

     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);


DESCRIPTION
     These routines return a  string  of  type   chtype,  holding
     wchar_t  characters, starting at the current cursor position
     in the named 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.  Con-
     stants  defined in   can be used with the  logical
     AND (&) operator to extract the  wchar_t  character  or  the
     attribute  alone  from  any  position  in  the  wchstr  (see
     curs_inwch(3CURSES)).

RETURN VALUE
     All routines return the integer  ERR  upon  failure  and  an
     integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
