NAME

RETURN VALUE

        The mcprint function returns ERR if the  write  operation  aborted  for

EXTENSIONS

PORTABILITY

-       The mcprint call was designed for ncurses(3x), and is not found in SVr4
-       curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous version of curses.
+       Applications employing this ncurses extension should condition its  use
+       on the visibility of the NCURSES_VERSION preprocessor macro.

BUGS

-       Padding in the mc5p, mc4 and mc5 capabilities will not be interpreted.
