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
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
#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);
DESCRIPTION
These routines return a string of type chtype, holding wchar_t char‐
acters, 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. 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 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.
