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.
