NAME

 in_wchnstr, in_wchstr, mvin_wchnstr, mvin_wchstr, mvwin_wchnstr, mvwin_wchstr, win_wchnstr, win_wchstr - retrieve complex character string (with rendition)

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <curses.h>
int in_wchnstr(cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
 int in_wchstr(cchar_t *wchstr);
 int mvin_wchnstr(int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
 int mvin_wchstr(int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr);
 int mvwin_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
 int mvwin_wchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr);
 int win_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
 int win_wchstr(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wchstr);

DESCRIPTION

 

The in_wchstr() and win_wchstr() functions retrieve a complex character string (with rendition) starting at the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win, respectively, and ending at the right margin. The mvin_wchstr() and mvwin_wchstr() functions retrieve a complex character string located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win).

The in_wchnstr(), win_wchnstr(), mvin_wchnstr(), and mvwin_wchnstr() functions retrieve at most n characters from the window stdscr and win, respectively. The former two functions retrieve the string, starting at the current cursor position; the latter two commands retrieve the string, starting at the position specified by the x and y parameters.

The retrieved character string (with renditions) is stored in the object pointed to by wcval.

PARAMETERS

 
wchstr
Is a pointer to an object where the retrieved complex character string can be stored.
n
Is the number of characters not to exceed when retrieving wchstr.
y
Is the y (row) coordinate of the starting position of the string to be retrieved.
x
Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of the string to be retrieved.
win
Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be retrieved.

RETURN VALUES

 

On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

 

None.
