66 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
67 These routines return a string of <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> characters in
68 <EM>wstr</EM>, extracted starting at the current cursor position in
69 the named window. Attributes are stripped from the char-
70 acters. The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument
71 return a leading substring at most <EM>n</EM> bytes long (exclusive
72 of the trailing NUL). Transfer stops at the end of the
73 current line, or when <EM>n</EM> bytes have been stored at the
74 location referenced by <EM>wstr</EM>.
76 If the size <EM>n</EM> is not large enough to store a complete
77 character, an error is generated.
82 Note that all routines except <STRONG>winnwstr</STRONG> may be macros.
86 <H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
87 All routines return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure. Upon successful com-
88 pletion, the *<STRONG>inwstr</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, and the *<STRONG>innwstr</STRONG>
89 routines return the number of characters read into the
