Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]72 These routines return a NULL-terminated array of <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>
73 quantities, starting at the current cursor position in the
74 named window and ending at the right margin of the window.
75 The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument, return a
76 leading substring at most <EM>n</EM> characters long (exclusive of
77 the trailing (chtype)0). Constants defined in <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>
78 can be used with the <STRONG>&amp;</STRONG> (logical AND) operator to extract
79 the character or the attribute alone from any position in
80 the <EM>chstr</EM> [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_inch.3x.html">curs_inch(3x)</A></STRONG>].

Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]85 All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an
86 integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon successful completion
87 (the number of characters retrieved, exclusive of the
88 trailing 0).
89
90 No error conditions are defined. If the <EM>chstr</EM> parameter
91 is null, no data is returned, and the return value is ze-
92 ro.
93
Steve Kondikae271bc2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100[diff] [blame]94 Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
95 ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
96 outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]101 Note that all routines except <STRONG>winchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
Steve Kondikae271bc2015-11-15 02:50:53 +0100[diff] [blame]102 SVr4 does not document whether the result string is zero-
103 terminated; it does not document whether a length limit
104 argument includes any trailing 0; and it does not document
105 the meaning of the return value.

Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]110 These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
111 Issue 4. It is no more specific than the SVr4 documenta-
112 tion on the trailing 0. It does specify that the success-
113 ful return of the functions is <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.
