</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These  functions  return  an  array  of  complex  characters in <EM>wchstr</EM>,
       starting  at  the  current  cursor  position  in  the   named   window.
       Attributes (rendition) are stored with the characters.

       The  four  functions  with  <EM>n</EM>  as  the  last  argument return a leading
       substring at most <EM>n</EM> characters long (exclusive of the  trailing  zeroed
       <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.   Transfer  stops  at  the  end of the current line, or when <EM>n</EM>
       characters have been stored at the location referenced by <EM>wchstr</EM>.

       Constants defined in <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> can be used with the  <STRONG>&amp;</STRONG>  (logical  AND)
       operator  to  extract  the  character  or  the attribute alone from any
       position in the <EM>wchstr</EM> [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getcchar.3x.html">getcchar(3x)</A></STRONG>].


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       Upon successful completion, these functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.  Otherwise, they
       return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.

       X/Open Curses defines no error conditions.  This implementation returns
       an error

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the <EM>win</EM> parameter is null or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the <EM>wchstr</EM> parameter is null.

       Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail  if
       the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       All routines except <STRONG>win_wchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.

       Reading  a  line  that  overflows  the  array pointed to by <EM>wchstr</EM> with
       <STRONG>in_wchstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvin_wchstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwin_wchstr</STRONG>  or  <STRONG>win_wchstr</STRONG>  causes  undefined
       results.     Therefore,    the   use   of   <STRONG>in_wchnstr</STRONG>,   <STRONG>mvin_wchnstr</STRONG>,
       <STRONG>mvwin_wchnstr</STRONG>, or <STRONG>win_wchnstr</STRONG> is recommended.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       X/Open Curses defines no error conditions.  This implementation  checks
       for null pointers, returning <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> in that case.
