 .SH DESCRIPTION
-These routines return a string of \fBwchar_t\fR characters in \fIwstr\fR,
+.PP
+These routines return a string of \fBwchar_t\fR wide characters in \fIwstr\fR,
 extracted starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
-Attributes are stripped from the characters.
+.PP
 The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return a leading substring at most
-\fIn\fR bytes long (exclusive of the trailing NUL).
-Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when \fIn\fR bytes have
+\fIn\fR characters long (exclusive of the trailing NUL).
+Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when \fIn\fR characters have
 been stored at the location referenced by \fIwstr\fR.
 .PP
-If the size \fIn\fR is not large enough to store a complete character,
+If the size \fIn\fR is not large enough to store a complete complex character,
 an error is generated.

+Each cell in the window holds a complex character (i.e., base-

+These functions store only the wide characters,
