</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These routines return a string of  <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>  wide  characters  in  <EM>wstr</EM>,
       starting at the current cursor position in the named window.

       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  NUL).
       Transfer  stops  at  the  end of the current line, or when <EM>n</EM> characters
       have been stored at the location referenced by <EM>wstr</EM>.

       If the size  <EM>n</EM>  is  not  large  enough  to  store  a  complete  complex
       character, an error is generated.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       All  routines return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure.  Upon successful completion, the
       *<STRONG>inwstr</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, and the *<STRONG>innwstr</STRONG> routines return the number
       of characters read into the string.

       X/Open  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>wstr</EM> parameter is null, or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if no characters could be read.

       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>winnwstr</STRONG> may be macros.

       Each  cell in the window holds a complex character (a spacing character
       and zero or more non-spacing characters) together with  attributes  and
       color.   These  functions  store  only  the  wide  characters, ignoring
       attributes and color.  Use <STRONG>in_wchstr</STRONG> to return the  complex  characters
       from a window.

       Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by <EM>wstr</EM> with <STRONG>inwstr</STRONG>,
       <STRONG>mvinwstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwinwstr</STRONG> or <STRONG>winwstr</STRONG> causes  undefined  results.   Therefore,
       the use of <STRONG>innwstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvinnwstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwinnwstr</STRONG>, or <STRONG>winnwstr</STRONG> is recommended.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
