curs_getwstr(3CURSES)	   Curses Library Functions	 curs_getwstr(3CURSES)

NAME
       curs_getwstr, getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr, wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr, mvget‐
       nwstr, 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);

DESCRIPTION
       The   effect   of   getwstr()  is  as  though  a	 series	 of  calls  to
       getwch(3CURSES) 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.

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.
