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 -locurses [library . . .]

#include <ocurses.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 ocurses.h can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract the wchar_t character or the attribute alone from any position in the chstr [see curs_inwch(3ocurses)].

Return values

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

Notices

The header file ocurses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h and unctrl.h.

Note that all routines except winwchnstr may be macros.
