 .SH DESCRIPTION
 These functions extract the complex character and rendition from
-the current position in the named window into the \fBcchar_t\fR object
-referenced by wcval.
+the current position in the named window into the \fBcchar_t\fP object
+referenced by wch.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
-No errors are defined in the XSI Curses standard.
-This implementation checks for null pointers, returns ERR in that case.
-Also, the \fImv\fR routines check for error moving the cursor, returning ERR
-in that case.
-Otherwise they return OK
+No errors are defined in X/Open Curses.
+This implementation checks for null pointers, returns \fBERR\fP in that case.
+Also, the \fImv\fP routines check for error moving the cursor,
+returning \fBERR\fP in that case.
+Otherwise they return \fBOK\fP.
+.PP
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
 .SH NOTES
 Note that all of these routines may be macros.
 .SH PORTABILITY
-These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
