NAME
curs_inwchstr, inwchstr, inwchnstr, winwchstr, winwchnstr, mvinwchstr, mvinwchnstr, mvwinwchstr, mvwinwchnstr - get a string of wchar_t characters (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 characters, 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.

ATTRIBUTES

See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes:

NOTES

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h> and <widec.h>.

Note that all routines except winwchnstr() may be macros.

None of these routines can use the color attribute in chtype.
