NAME
       curs_getwstr, getwstr, getnwstr, wgetwstr, wgetnwstr, mvgetwstr, mvget‐
       nwstr, mvwgetwstr, mvwgetnwstr - Get wchar_t character strings  from  a
       Curses terminal keyboard

SYNOPSIS
       #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 );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

DESCRIPTION
       The  effect  of	getwstr	 is as though a series of calls to getwch 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.

       The  getnwstr routine reads at most n wchar_t characters, thus prevent‐
       ing a possible overflow of the input buffer. The user's erase and  kill
       characters  are interpreted, as well as any special keys (such as func‐
       tion keys, “home” key, “clear” key, and so on).

NOTES
       The header file	<curses.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <stdio.h>.

       Note that all routines except wgetnwstr may be macros.

       The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses
       functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specification.
       MNLS  routines  are  supported only for backward compatibility reasons.
       Use the *get_wstr functions in new applications (see curs_get_wstr(3)).

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