<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
All of the functions return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure, or the num-
ber of characters actually read into the string.
+ X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
+ tion, if the window parameter is null or the str parameter
+ is null, a zero is returned.
+
+ Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
+ ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
+ outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
