The effect of <STRONG>get_wstr</STRONG> is as though a series of calls to
- <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG> were made, until a newline, other end-of-line, or
- end-of-file condition is processed. An end-of-file condi-
- tion is represented by <STRONG>WEOF</STRONG>, as defined in <STRONG><wchar.h></STRONG>. The
- newline and end-of-line conditions are represented by the
- <STRONG>\n</STRONG> <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> value. In all instances, the end of the string
- is terminated by a null <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>. The routine places
- resulting values in the area pointed to by <EM>wstr</EM>.

read a line that overflows the array pointed to by <STRONG>wstr</STRONG>

All of these functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> upon successful comple-
tion. Otherwise, they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.

+ is null.

+ <STRONG>wgetn_wstr</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the associated call to

+ 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.

These functions are described in The Single Unix Specifi-
cation, Version 2. No error conditions are defined. This
implementation returns ERR if the window pointer is null,
or if the lower-level <STRONG>wget_wch</STRONG> call returns an ERR. In
the latter case, an ERR return without other data is
- treated as an end-of-file condition, and the returned
- array contains a <STRONG>WEOF</STRONG> followed by a null <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>.
