36 \fBvwprintw\fR, \fBvw_printw\fR - print formatted output in \fBcurses\fR windows

42 \fBint wprintw(WINDOW *win, const char *fmt, ...);\fR
44 \fBint mvprintw(int y, int x, const char *fmt, ...);\fR

50 \fBint vw_printw(WINDOW *win, const char *fmt, va_list varglist);\fR
53 The \fBprintw\fR, \fBwprintw\fR, \fBmvprintw\fR and \fBmvwprintw\fR
54 routines are analogous to \fBprintf\fR [see \fBprintf\fR(3S)]. In
55 effect, the string that would be output by \fBprintf\fR is output
56 instead as though \fBwaddstr\fR were used on the given window.
58 The \fBvwprintw\fR and \fBwv_printw\fR routines are analogous
59 to \fBvprintf\fR [see \fBprintf\fR(3S)]
60 and perform a \fBwprintw\fR using a variable argument list.
61 The third argument is a \fBva_list\fR, a pointer to a
62 list of arguments, as defined in \fB<stdarg.h>\fR.
64 Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR
65 (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
68 The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions. The function
69 \fBvwprintw\fR is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be replaced by a function
70 \fBvw_printw\fR using the \fB<stdarg.h>\fR interface.
71 The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that
72 \fBvw_printw\fR is preferred to \fBvwprintw\fR since the latter requires
73 including \fB<varargs.h>\fR, which
74 cannot be used in the same file as \fB<stdarg.h>\fR.
75 This implementation uses \fB<stdarg.h>\fR for both, because that header
76 is included in \fB<curses.h\fR>.
