.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The effect of  \fBgetwstr()\fR is as though a series of calls to
\fBgetwch\fR(3CURSES) were made, until a newline and carriage return is
received. The resulting value is placed in the area pointed to by the
\fBwchar_t\fR pointer  \fIwstr\fR. \fBgetnwstr()\fR reads at most \fIn\fR
\fBwchar_t\fR 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.).
.SH RETURN VALUE
.sp
.LP
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
.SH ATTRIBUTES
