#include <ocurses.h>

int inwstr(char str);
int innwstr(char str, int n);
int winwstr(WINDOW win, char str);
int winnwstr(WINDOW win, char str, int n);
int mvinwstr(int y, int x, char str);
int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, char str, int n);
int mvwinwstr(WINDOW win, int y, int x, char str);

Description

These routines return the string of wchar_t characters in str starting at the current cursor position in the named window and ending at the right margin of the window. Attributes are stripped from the characters. The four functions with n as the last argument return the string at most n wchar_t characters long.

Return values

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