quantities, starting at the current cursor position in the
named window and ending at the right margin of the window.

<a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
+ All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an
+ integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon successful completion
(the number of characters retrieved, exclusive of the
trailing 0).
+ No error conditions are defined. If the <EM>chstr</EM> parameter
+ is null, no data is returned, and the return value is ze-
+ ro.
+
+ 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.

- Note that all routines except <B>winchnstr</B> may be macros.
- SVr4 does not document whether the result string is 0-ter-
- minated; it does not document whether a length limit argu-
- ment includes any trailing 0; and it does not document the
- meaning of the return value.

These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4. It is no more specific than the SVr4 documenta-
tion on the trailing 0. It does specify that the success-
- ful return of the functions is <B>OK</B>.
+ ful return of the functions is <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.
