-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <B>printw</B>, <B>wprintw</B>, <B>mvprintw</B> and <B>mvwprintw</B> routines are
- analogous to <B>printf</B> [see <B><A HREF="printf.3S.html">printf(3S)</A></B>]. In effect, the
- string that would be output by <B>printf</B> is output instead as
- though <B>waddstr</B> were used on the given window.
-
- The <B>vwprintw</B> routine is analogous to <B>vprintf</B> [see
- <B><A HREF="printf.3S.html">printf(3S)</A></B>] and performs a <B>wprintw</B> using a variable argu-
- ment list. The third argument is a <B>va_list</B>, a pointer to
- a list of arguments, as defined in <B><varargs.h></B>.
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- Routines that return an integer return <B>ERR</B> upon failure
- and <B>OK</B> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
- <B>ERR</B>") upon successful completion.
