       curs_inwstr(3curses)                            curs_inwstr(3curses)


       NAME
             curs_inwstr: inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr,
             mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - get a string of wchar_t
             characters from a curses window

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
             #include <curses.h>
             int inwstr(char *str);
             int innwstr(char *str, int n);
             int winwstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
             int winnwstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
             int mvinwstr(int y, int x, char *str);
             int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, char *str, int n);
             int mvwinwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
             int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str, int n);

       DESCRIPTION
             These routines return the string of wchar_t characters in str
             starting at the current cursor position in the named window
             and ending at the right margin of the window.  Attributes are
             stripped from the characters.  The four functions with n as
             the last argument return the string at most n wchar_t
             characters long.

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

             files stdio.h and unctrl.h.

             Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.
