+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function \fBgetstr\fR is equivalent to a series of calls to \fBgetch\fR,
+until a newline or carriage return is received (the terminating character is
+not included in the returned string).  The resulting value is placed in the
+area pointed to by the character pointer \fIstr\fR.
+.PP
+\fBwgetnstr\fR reads at most \fIn\fR characters, thus preventing a possible
+overflow of the input buffer.  Any attempt to enter more characters (other
+than the terminating newline or carriage return) causes a beep.  Function
+keys also cause a beep and are ignored.  The \fBgetnstr\fR function reads
+from the \fIstdscr\fR default window.
+.PP
+The user's erase and kill characters are interpreted.  If keypad
+mode is on for the window, \fBKEY_LEFT\fR and \fBKEY_BACKSPACE\fR
+are both considered equivalent to the user's kill character.
+.PP
+Characters input are echoed only if \fBecho\fR is currently on.  In that case,
+backspace is echoed as deletion of the previous character (typically a left
+motion).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an \fBOK\fR (SVr4
+specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
+completion.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no error conditions.
+.PP
+In this implementation,
+these functions return an error
+if the window pointer is null, or
+if its timeout expires without having any data.
+.PP
+This implementation provides an extension as well.
+If a SIGWINCH interrupts the function, it will return \fBKEY_RESIZE\fP
+rather than \fBOK\fP or \fBERR\fP.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that \fBgetstr\fR, \fBmvgetstr\fR, and \fBmvwgetstr\fR may be macros.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+They read single-byte characters only.
+The standard does not define any error conditions.
+This implementation returns ERR if the window pointer is null,
+or if the lower-level \fBwgetch\fR call returns an ERR.
+.PP
+SVr3 and early SVr4 curses implementations did not reject function keys;
+the SVr4.0 documentation claimed that "special keys" (such as function
+keys, "home" key, "clear" key, \fIetc\fR.) are "interpreted", without
+giving details.  It lied.  In fact, the `character' value appended to the
+string by those implementations was predictable but not useful
+(being, in fact, the low-order eight bits of the key's KEY_ value).
+.PP
+The functions \fBgetnstr\fR, \fBmvgetnstr\fR, and \fBmvwgetnstr\fR were
+present but not documented in SVr4.
