- These routines return a NULL-terminated array of <B>chtype</B>

- named window and ending at the right margin of the window.
- The four functions with <I>n</I> as the last argument, return a
- leading substring at most <I>n</I> characters long (exclusive of
- the trailing (chtype)0). Constants defined in <B><curses.h></B>
- can be used with the <B>&</B> (logical AND) operator to extract
- the character or the attribute alone from any position in
- the <I>chstr</I> [see <B><A HREF="curs_inch.3x.html">curs_inch(3x)</A></B>].

- 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.

-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- 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>.
+ X/Open Curses defines no error conditions. In this implementation:
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> If the <EM>win</EM> parameter is null, an error is returned,
