.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These routines return a string of type  \fBchtype\fR, holding  \fBwchar_t\fR
characters, starting at the current cursor position in the named window and
ending at the right margin of the window. The four functions with  \fIn\fR as
the last argument, return the string at most  \fIn\fR \fBwchar_t\fR characters
long. Constants defined in  \fB<curses.h>\fR can be used with the  logical AND
(\fB&\fR) operator to extract the \fBwchar_t\fR character or the attribute
alone from any position in the \fIwchstr\fR (see \fBcurs_inwch\fR(3CURSES)).
.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
