X/Open Curses Library Functionsvw_scanw(3XCURSES)


NAME

 vw_scanw - convert formatted input from a window

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <curses.h>
int vw_scanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

PARAMETERS

 
fmt
Is a scanf() format string.
varglist
Is a pointer to a list of parameters.
win
Is a pointer to the window in which the character is to be read.

DESCRIPTION

 

The vw_scanw() function achieves the same effect as wscanw(3XCURSES) using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, as defined in <stdarg.h>.

RETURN VALUES

 

Upon successful completion, vw_scanw() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.

ERRORS

 

No errors are defined.

USAGE

 

The vw_scanw() function is preferred over vwscanw(3XCURSES). The use of the vwscanw() and vw_scanw() in the same file will not work, due to the requirements to include <varargs.h> and <stdarg.h>, which both contain definitions of va_list.

SEE ALSO

 

mvscanw(3XCURSES), scanf(3C)
