curs_inchstr(3) curs_inchstr(3)
NAME
inchstr, inchnstr, winchstr, winchnstr, mvinchstr,
mvinchnstr, mvwinchstr, mvwinchnstr - get a string of
characters (and attributes) from a curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int inchstr(chtype *chstr);
int inchnstr(chtype *chstr, int n);
int winchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr);
int winchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr, int n);
int mvinchstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr);
int mvinchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);
int mvwinchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr);
int mvwinchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr,
int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines return a NULL-terminated array of chtype
quantities, starting at the current cursor position in the
named window and ending at the right margin of the window.
The four functions with n as the last argument, return a
leading substring at most n characters long (exclusive of
the trailing (chtype)0). Constants defined in <curses.h>
can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract
the character or the attribute alone from any position in
the chstr [see curs_inch(3)].
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an
integer value other than ERR upon successful completion
(the number of characters retrieved, exclusive of the
trailing 0).
NOTES
Note that all routines except winchnstr may be macros.
SVr4 does not document whether the result string is 0-ter-
minated; it does not document whether a length limit argu-
ment includes any trailing 0; and it does not document the
meaning of the return value.
PORTABILITY
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4. It is no more specific than the SVr4 documenta-
tion on the trailing 0. It does specify that the success-
ful return of the functions is OK.
