inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr,
mvwinnwstr - get a string of wchar_t characters from a curses window
#include <curses.h>
int inwstr(wchar_t *str);
int innwstr(wchar_t *str, int n);
int winwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *str);
int winnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *str, int n);
int mvinwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *str);
int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *str, int n);
int mvwinwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *str);
int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *str, int n);
These routines return a string of wchar_t characters in wstr, extracted
starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
Attributes are stripped from the characters. The four functions with n
as the last argument return a leading substring at most n bytes long
(exclusive of the trailing NUL). Transfer stops at the end of the cur-
rent line, or when n bytes have been stored at the location referenced
by wstr.
If the size n is not large enough to store a complete character, an
error is generated.
Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.
All routines return ERR upon failure. Upon successful completion, the
*inwstr routines return OK, and the *innwstr routines return the number
of characters read into the string.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
the window pointer is null.
