+ These functions return an array of complex characters in <EM>wchstr</EM>,
+ starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
+ Attributes (rendition) are stored with the characters.
- The <STRONG>in_wchnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvin_wchnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwin_wchnstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>win_wchn-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>str</STRONG> fill the array with at most <EM>n</EM> <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> elements.
+ The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument return a leading
+ substring at most <EM>n</EM> characters long (exclusive of the trailing zeroed
+ <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>. Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when <EM>n</EM>
+ characters have been stored at the location referenced by <EM>wchstr</EM>.
+ Constants defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> can be used with the <STRONG>&</STRONG> (logical AND)
+ operator to extract the character or the attribute alone from any
+ position in the <EM>wchstr</EM> [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getcchar.3x.html">getcchar(3x)</A></STRONG>].
