- The function <STRONG>getstr</STRONG> is equivalent to a series of calls to
- <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, until a newline or carriage return is received (the
- terminating character is not included in the returned
- string). The resulting value is placed in the area point-
- ed to by the character pointer <EM>str</EM>.
-
- <STRONG>wgetnstr</STRONG> reads at most <EM>n</EM> characters, thus preventing a
- possible overflow of the input buffer. Any attempt to en-
- ter more characters (other than the terminating newline or
- carriage return) causes a beep. Function keys also cause
- a beep and are ignored. The <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG> function reads from
- the <EM>stdscr</EM> default window.
-
- The user's erase and kill characters are interpreted. If
- keypad mode is on for the window, <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG> and
- <STRONG>KEY_BACKSPACE</STRONG> are both considered equivalent to the user's
- kill character.
-
- Characters input are echoed only if <STRONG>echo</STRONG> is currently on.
- In that case, backspace is echoed as deletion of the pre-
- vious character (typically a left motion).
