NAME

w - pointer page for functions with w prefix

 DESCRIPTION

Most uses of the w prefix indicate that a Curses function takes a win argument that specifies the affected window. (The corresponding functions without the w prefix operate on the current window.) The wunctrl() function is an exception to this rule and has an entry under its own name.

The w functions are discussed together with the corresponding functions without the w prefix. They are found on the following entries:
