inchnstr, inchstr, mvinchnstr, mvinchstr, mvwinchnstr, mvwinchstr, winchnstr, winchstr - input an array of single-byte characters and renditions from a window
#include <curses.h> int inchnstr(chtype *chstr, int n); int inchstr(chtype *chstr); int mvinchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n); int mvinchstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr); int mvwinchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n); int mvwinchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr); int winchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr, int n); int winchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr);
These functions place characters and renditions from the current or specified window into the array pointed to by chstr, starting at the current or specified position and ending at the end of the line.The inchnstr(), mvinchnstr(), mvwinchnstr() and winchnstr() functions store at most n elements from the current or specified window into the array pointed to by chstr.
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
No errors are defined.
Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by chstr with inchstr(), mvinchstr(), mvwinchstr() or winchstr() causes undefined results. The use of inchnstr(), mvinchnstr(), mvwinchnstr() or winchnstr(), respectively, is recommended.
