curs_getwstr(3X)					      curs_getwstr(3X)


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     curs_getwstr: getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr,	wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr,
     mvgetnwstr, mvwgetwstr, mvwgetnwstr - get wchar_t character strings from
     curses terminal keyboard

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <curses.h>

     int getwstr(wchar_t *wstr);

     int getnwstr(wchar_t *wstr, int n);
     int wgetwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr);

     int wgetnwstr(WINDOW *win,	wchar_t	*wstr, int n);
     int mvgetwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);

     int mvgetnwstr(int	y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
     int mvwgetwstr(WINDOW *win, int y,	int x, wchar_t *wstr);

     int mvwgetnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x,	wchar_t	*wstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The effect	of getwstr is as though	a series of calls to getwch were made,
     until a newline and carriage return is received.  The resulting value is
     placed in the area	pointed	to by the wchar_t pointer str.	getnwstr reads
     at	most n <b>wchar_t characters, thus	preventing a possible overflow of the
     input buffer.  The	user's erase and kill characters are interpreted, as
     well as any special keys (such as function	keys, ``home'' key, ``clear''
     key, etc.).

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

     All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
     other than	ERR upon successful completion.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The header	file <curses.h>	automatically includes the header files
     <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

     Note that all routines except wgetnwstr may be macros.
