NAME
curs_getwstr: getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr, wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr,
mvgetnwstr, mvwgetwstr, mvwgetnwstr - get wchar_t character strings
from curses terminal keyboard
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int getwstr(wchar_t *wstr);
int getnwstr(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);
int wgetwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr);
int wgetnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
DESCRIPTION
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 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
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
<stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
Note that all routines except wgetnwstr may be macros.
