X/Open Curses does not specify what happens if the length \fIn\fP is negative.
.bP
For analogy with \fBwgetnstr\fP,
-ncurses 6.2 uses a limit (based on \fBLINE_MAX\fP).
+\fI\%ncurses\fP 6.2 uses a limit (based on \fBLINE_MAX\fP).
.bP
Some other implementations (such as Solaris xcurses) do the same,
while others (PDCurses) do not allow this.
.bP
-NetBSD 7 curses imitates ncurses 6.1 in this regard,
+NetBSD 7 curses imitates \fI\%ncurses\fP 6.1 in this regard,
treating a \fB\-1\fP as an indefinite number of characters.
