+The four functions with \fIn\fP as the last argument, return

+All routines return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and an integer value
+other than \fBERR\fP upon successful completion (the number of characters
 retrieved, exclusive of the trailing 0).
 .PP
-No error conditions are defined.
-If the \fIchstr\fP parameter is null,
-no data is returned,
-and the return value is zero.
+X/Open Curses defines no error conditions.
+This implementation returns an error

-Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
-\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
-or if the window pointer is null.
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position

+SVr4 does not
 document whether the result string is zero-terminated; it does not document
 whether a length limit argument includes any trailing 0; and it does not
 document the meaning of the return value.
-.SH PORTABILITY
-These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.  It is no
-more specific than the SVr4 documentation on the trailing 0.  It does specify
-that the successful return of the functions is \fBOK\fR.

-Comparable functions in the wide-character (ncursesw) library are
