.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines return a NULL-terminated array of \fBchtype\fR quantities,
starting at the current cursor position in the named window and ending at the
-right margin of the window. The four functions with \fIn\fR as
+right margin of the window.
+The four functions with \fIn\fR as
the last argument, return a leading substring at most \fIn\fR characters long
(exclusive of the trailing (chtype)0).
Constants defined in \fB<curses.h>\fR can be used with the \fB&\fR (logical
\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
or if the window pointer is null.
.SH NOTES
-Note that all routines except \fBwinchnstr\fR may be macros. SVr4 does not

.SH PORTABILITY
