curs_inwstr(3)
NAME
  curs_inwstr, inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr,
  mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - Get a string of wchar_t characters from a Curses
  window

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so)

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);

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr,
  mvwinnwstr:	XPG4-UNIX

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
  These routines return a string of wchar_t characters in str, starting at
  the current or specified cursor position in the current or specified window
  and ending at the right margin of the window.	 The functions strip
  attributes from the characters.  The four functions with n as the last
  argument return a string that is at most n wchar_t characters long.

NOTES
  The header file curses.h automatically includes the header file stdio.h.

  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 into the string.
