curs_printw(3)							curs_printw(3)

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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       The printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are analogous to
       printf [see printf(3)].	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(3)] 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.

       X/Open defines no error conditions.  In this implementation, an error
       may be returned if it cannot allocate enough memory for the buffer used
       to format the results.  It will return an error if the window pointer
       is null.

PORTABILITY
       The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.  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       function vwprintw is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be replaced by a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, Version 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>.
