72        These  routines  return  a string of <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> characters in
73        <EM>wstr</EM>, extracted starting at the current cursor position in
74        the  named window.  Attributes are stripped from the char-
75        acters.  The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as  the  last  argument
76        return a leading substring at most <EM>n</EM> bytes long (exclusive
77        of the trailing NUL).  Transfer stops at the  end  of  the
78        current  line,  or  when  <EM>n</EM>  bytes have been stored at the
79        location referenced by <EM>wstr</EM>.
80
81        If the size <EM>n</EM> is not large  enough  to  store  a  complete
82        character, an error is generated.

91 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
92        All routines return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure. Upon successful com-
93        pletion, the *<STRONG>inwstr</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, and the  *<STRONG>innwstr</STRONG>
94        routines  return  the  number  of characters read into the
95        string.
96
97        Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
98        ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
99        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
