NAME

in_wchstr, in_wchnstr, win_wchstr, win_wchnstr, mvin_wchstr, mvin_wchnstr, mvwin_wchstr, mvwin_wchnstr - get an array of complex characters and renditions from a curses window

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int in_wchstr(cchar_t *wchstr);


int in_wchnstr(cchar_t *wchstr, int n);


int win_wchstr(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wchstr);


int win_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);


int mvin_wchstr(int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr);


int mvin_wchnstr(int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);


int mvwin_wchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr);


int mvwin_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION

These functions return an array of complex characters in wchstr, starting at the current cursor position in the named window. Attributes (rendition) are stored with the characters.

The in_wchnstr, mvin_wchnstr, mvwin_wchnstr and win_wchnstr fill the array with at most n cchar_t elements.

NOTES

Note that all routines except win_wchnstr may be macros.

Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by wchstr with in_wchstr, mvin_wchstr, mvwin_wchstr or win_wchstr causes undefined results. Therefore, the use of in_wchnstr, mvin_wchnstr, mvwin_wchnstr, or win_wchnstr is recommended.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

Functions with a “mv” prefix first perform a cursor movement using wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
