.SH DESCRIPTION
The function
\fBwgetnstr\fP
it is not necessary with ncurses.
.IP
Since 1995, ncurses has provided signal handlers for INTR and QUIT
-(e.g., \fB^C\fP or \fB^\\\fP).
+(e.g., \fB^C\fP or \fB^\e\fP).
With the \fBnoraw\fP and \fBcbreak\fP settings,
those may catch a signal and stop the program,
where other implementations allow one to enter those characters in the buffer.
