curs_inwstr(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	   curs_inwstr(3)

NAME
     inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr,
     mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - get a string of wchar_t characters
     from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int inwstr(wchar_t *str);
     int innwstr(wchar_t *str, int n);
     int winwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *str);
     int winnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *str, int n);
     int mvinwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *str);
     int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *str, int n);
     int mvwinwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *str);
     int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines return a string of wchar_t characters in
     wstr, extracted starting at the current cursor position in
     the named window. Attributes are stripped from the charac-
     ters. The four functions with n as the last argument return
     a leading substring at most n bytes long (exclusive of the
     trailing NUL). Transfer stops at the end of the current
     line, or when n bytes have been stored at the location
     referenced by wstr.

     If the size n is not large enough to store a complete char-
     acter, an error is generated.

NOTES
     Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
     All routines return ERR upon failure. Upon successful com-
     pletion, the *inwstr routines return OK, and the *innwstr
     routines return the number of characters read into the
     string.
