curs_getwstr, getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr, wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr, mvget‐
nwstr, mvwgetwstr, mvwgetnwstr - get wchar_t character strings from
curses terminal keyboard
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
#include <curses.h>
int getwstr(wchar_t *wstr);
int getnwstr(wchar_t *wstr, int n);
int wgetwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr);
int wgetnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
int mvgetwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);
int mvgetnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
int mvwgetwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);
int mvwgetnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
DESCRIPTION
The effect of getwstr() is as though a series of calls to
getwch(3CURSES) were made, until a newline and carriage return is
received. The resulting value is placed in the area pointed to by the
wchar_t pointer wstr. getnwstr() reads at most n wchar_t characters,
thus preventing a possible overflow of the input buffer. The user's
erase and kill characters are interpreted, as well as any special keys
(such as function keys, HOME key, CLEAR key, etc.).
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
