       int getn_wstr(wint_t *wstr, int n);

       int get_wstr(wint_t *wstr);

       int mvgetn_wstr(int y, int x, wint_t *wstr, int n);

       int mvget_wstr(int y, int x, wint_t *wstr);

       int mvwgetn_wstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wint_t *wstr, int n);

       int mvwget_wstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wint_t *wstr);

       int wgetn_wstr(WINDOW *win, wint_t *wstr, int n);

       int wget_wstr(WINDOW *win, wint_t *wstr);

DESCRIPTION
       The  get_wstr()	and  wget_wstr() functions get a wide character string
       from the terminal associated with the  window  stdscr  or  window  win,
       respectively. The mvget_str() and mvwget_wstr() functions move the cur‐
       sor to  the position specified in stdscr or win, respectively, then get
       a  wide character string.

       These functions call wget_wch(3XCURSES) and place each received charac‐
       ter in wstr until a newline character, end-of-line character,  or  end-
       of-file	character is received, which is also placed in wstr. The erase
       and kill characters set by the user are processed.

       The getn_wstr(), mvgetn_wstr(), mvwgetn_wstr() and  wgetn_wstr()	 func‐
       tions  read  at most n characters.  These functions are used to prevent
       overflowing the input buffer.

PARAMETERS
       wstr
	       Is a pointer to the area where the character string  is	to  be
	       placed.

       n
	       Is the maximum number of characters to read from input.

       y
	       Is  the	y  (row)  coordinate of starting position of character
	       string to be read.

       x
	       Is the x (column) coordinate of starting position of  character
	       string to be read.

       win
	       points  to  the	window associated with the terminal from which
	       the character  is to be read.

RETURN VALUES
       On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
