.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.

+referenced by wch.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-No errors are defined in the XSI Curses standard.
+No errors are defined in X/Open Curses.
This implementation checks for null pointers, returns \fBERR\fP in that case.
-Also, the \fImv\fR routines check for error moving the cursor,
+Also, the \fImv\fP routines check for error moving the cursor,
returning \fBERR\fP in that case.
Otherwise they return \fBOK\fP.
.PP
-Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using
-\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
-or if the window pointer is null.
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position

+is outside the window boundaries.
.SH NOTES
