curs_printw(3X)					  curs_printw(3X)

NAME
       printw,	wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw, vw_printw
       - print formatted output in curses windows

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int printw(char *fmt, ...);
       int wprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, ...);
       int mvprintw(int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
       int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
       int vwprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);
       int vw_printw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

DESCRIPTION
       The printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw  routines  are
       analogous  to  printf  [see  printf(3S)].   In effect, the
       string that would be output by printf is output instead as
       though waddstr were used on the given window.

       The  vwprintw  and  wv_printw  routines	are  analogous to
       vprintf [see printf(3S)] and perform  a	wprintw	 using	a
       variable	 argument list.	 The third argument is a va_list,
       a  pointer  to  a  list	of  arguments,	as   defined   in
       <stdarg.h>.

RETURN VALUE
       Routines	 that  return  an integer return ERR upon failure
       and OK (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value  other  than
       ERR") upon successful completion.

PORTABILITY
       The  XSI	 Curses	 standard,  Issue 4 describes these func-
       tions.  The function vwprintw is marked TO  BE  WITHDRAWN,
       and  is	to  be replaced by a function vw_printw using the
       <stdarg.h> interface.  The Single Unix Specification, Ver-
       sion  2	states	that  vw_printw	 is preferred to vwprintw
       since the latter	 requires  including  <varargs.h>,  which
       cannot  be  used	 in  the  same	file as <stdarg.h>.  This
       implementation uses  <stdarg.h>	for  both,  because  that
       header is included in <curses.h>.
