| These routines return a string of <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> wide characters in <EM>wstr</EM>, |
| starting at the current cursor position in the named window. |
| |
| The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument return a leading |
| substring at most <EM>n</EM> characters long (exclusive of the trailing NUL). |
| Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when <EM>n</EM> characters |
| have been stored at the location referenced by <EM>wstr</EM>. |
| |
| If the size <EM>n</EM> is not large enough to store a complete complex |
| character, an error is generated. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| All routines return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure. Upon successful completion, the |
| *<STRONG>inwstr</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, and the *<STRONG>innwstr</STRONG> routines return the number |
| of characters read into the string. |
| |
| X/Open defines no error conditions. This implementation returns an |
| error |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the <EM>win</EM> parameter is null or |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the <EM>wstr</EM> parameter is null, or |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if no characters could be read. |
| |
| Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if |
| the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE> |
| All routines except <STRONG>winnwstr</STRONG> may be macros. |
| |
| Each cell in the window holds a complex character (a spacing character |
| and zero or more non-spacing characters) together with attributes and |
| color. These functions store only the wide characters, ignoring |
| attributes and color. Use <STRONG>in_wchstr</STRONG> to return the complex characters |
| from a window. |
| |
| Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by <EM>wstr</EM> with <STRONG>inwstr</STRONG>, |
| <STRONG>mvinwstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwinwstr</STRONG> or <STRONG>winwstr</STRONG> causes undefined results. Therefore, |
| the use of <STRONG>innwstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvinnwstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwinnwstr</STRONG>, or <STRONG>winnwstr</STRONG> is recommended. |
