curs_getwstr, getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr, wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr, mvgetnwstr, mvwgetwstr, mvwgetnwstr - get wchar_t character strings from curses terminal keyboard
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
#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);
MT-LEVEL
Unsafe
DESCRIPTION
The effect of
getwstr()
is as though a series of calls to
getwch.3x
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
wstr.
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.
SEE ALSO
curses.3x
getwch.3x
NOTES
The header file
<curses.h>
automatically includes the header files
<stdio.h>,
<unctrl.h>,
and
<widec.h>.
Note that all routines except
wgetnwstr()
may be macros.
