curs_in_wchstr(3X)		 Library calls		    curs_in_wchstr(3X)

NAME
       in_wchstr,    in_wchnstr,    win_wchstr,	   win_wchnstr,	  mvin_wchstr,
       mvin_wchnstr, mvwin_wchstr, mvwin_wchnstr - get a curses	complex	 char-
       acter string from a window

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curses.h>

       int in_wchstr(cchar_t *wchstr);
       int win_wchstr(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wchstr);
       int mvin_wchstr(int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr);
       int mvwin_wchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int	x, cchar_t *wchstr);

       int in_wchnstr(cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int win_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int mvin_wchnstr(int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int mvwin_wchnstr(WINDOW	*win, int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions return an array of complex characters in	wchstr,	start-
       ing  at	the  current  cursor position in the named window.  Attributes
       (rendition) are stored with the characters.

       The four	functions with n as the	last argument return  a	 leading  sub-
       string  at  most	 n  characters	long (exclusive	of the trailing	zeroed
       cchar_t.	 Transfer stops	at the end of the  current  line,  or  when  n
       characters have been stored at the location referenced by wchstr.

       Constants  defined  in  <curses.h> can be used with the & (logical AND)
       operator	to extract the character or the	attribute alone	from any posi-
       tion in the wchstr [see getcchar(3X)].

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they
       return ERR.

       X/Open Curses defines no	error conditions.  This	implementation returns
       an error

          if the win parameter	is null	or

          if the wchstr parameter is null.

       Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail  if
       the position (y,	x) is outside the window boundaries.

NOTES
       All routines except win_wchnstr may be macros.

       Reading	a  line	 that  overflows  the  array pointed to	by wchstr with
       in_wchstr, mvin_wchstr, mvwin_wchstr or win_wchstr causes undefined re-
       sults.  Therefore, the use of in_wchnstr, mvin_wchnstr,	mvwin_wchnstr,
       or win_wchnstr is recommended.

PORTABILITY
       X/Open  Curses defines no error conditions.  This implementation	checks
       for null	pointers, returning ERR	in that	case.

SEE ALSO
       curs_inchstr(3X)	describes comparable functions of the ncurses  library
       in its non-wide-character configuration.
