curs_getstr(3CURSES)	   Curses Library Functions	  curs_getstr(3CURSES)

NAME
       curs_getstr, getstr, wgetstr, mvgetstr, mvwgetstr, wgetnstr - get char‐
       acter strings from curses terminal keyboard

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int getstr(char *str);

       int wgetstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);

       int mvgetstr(int y, int x, char *str);

       int mvwgetstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);

       int wgetnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       The effect of getstr() is as though a series of calls to	 getch()  were
       made,  until  a	newline	 or carriage return is received. The resulting
       value is placed in the area pointed to by the  character	 pointer  str.
       wgetnstr() reads at most n characters, thus preventing a possible over‐
       flow 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, and CLEAR key.)

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