+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBint printw(const char *fmt, ...);\fR
+.br
+\fBint wprintw(WINDOW *win, const char *fmt, ...);\fR
+.br
+\fBint mvprintw(int y, int x, const char *fmt, ...);\fR
+.br
+\fBint mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *fmt, ...);\fR
+.br
+\fBint vwprintw(WINDOW *win, const char *fmt, va_list varglist);\fR
+.br
+\fBint vw_printw(WINDOW *win, const char *fmt, va_list varglist);\fR
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBprintw\fR, \fBwprintw\fR, \fBmvprintw\fR and \fBmvwprintw\fR
+routines are analogous to \fBprintf\fR [see \fBprintf\fR(3)].  In
+effect, the string that would be output by \fBprintf\fR is output
+instead as though \fBwaddstr\fR were used on the given window.
+.PP
+The \fBvwprintw\fR and \fBwv_printw\fR routines are analogous
+to \fBvprintf\fR [see \fBprintf\fR(3)]
+and perform a \fBwprintw\fR using a variable argument list.
+The third argument is a \fBva_list\fR, a pointer to a
+list of arguments, as defined in \fB<stdarg.h>\fR.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR
+(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
+completion.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no error conditions.
+In this implementation,
+an error may be returned if it cannot allocate enough memory for the
+buffer used to format the results.
+It will return an error if the window pointer is null.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.  The function
+\fBvwprintw\fR is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be replaced by a function
+\fBvw_printw\fR using the \fB<stdarg.h>\fR interface.
+The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that
+\fBvw_printw\fR  is preferred to \fBvwprintw\fR since the latter requires
+including \fB<varargs.h>\fR, which
+cannot be used in the same file as \fB<stdarg.h>\fR.
+This implementation uses \fB<stdarg.h>\fR for both, because that header
+is included in \fB<curses.h\fR>.
