CURS_INCHSTR(3CURSES)					 CURS_INCHSTR(3CURSES)

NAME
       curs_inchstr,   inchstr,	  inchnstr,  winchstr,	winchnstr,  mvinchstr,
       mvinchnstr, mvwinchstr, mvwinchnstr - get a string of  characters  (and
       attributes) from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int inchstr(chtype *chstr);

       int inchnstr(chtype *chstr, int n);

       int winchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr);

       int winchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr, int n);

       int mvinchstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr);

       int mvinchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);

       int mvwinchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr);

       int mvwinchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       With  these  routines, a string of type chtype, starting at the current
       cursor position in the named window and ending at the right  margin  of
       the  window,  is	 returned. The four functions with n as the last argu‐
       ment, return the string at most n characters long. Constants defined in
       <curses.h> can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract the
       character or the attribute alone from any position in  the  chstr  (see
       curs_inch(3CURSES)).

RETURN VALUES
       All  routines  return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
       other than ERR upon successful completion.

ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       ┌───────────────┬─────────────────┐
       │ATTRIBUTE TYPE │ ATTRIBUTE VALUE │
       ├───────────────┼─────────────────┤
       │MT-Level       │ Unsafe		 │
       └───────────────┴─────────────────┘

SEE ALSO
       curs_inch(3CURSES), curses(3CURSES), attributes(5)

NOTES
       The header <curses.h> automatically includes the headers	 <stdio.h> and
       <unctrl.h>.

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