curs_scanw(3CURSES)					     Curses Library Functions					       curs_scanw(3CURSES)

NAME

       curs_scanw, scanw, wscanw, mvscanw, mvwscanw, vwscanw - convert formatted input from a curses widow

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int scanw(char *fmt, /* arg */ ...);

       int wscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, /* arg */ ...);

       int mvscanw(int y, int x, char *fmt, /* arg */ ...);

       int mvwscanw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, /* arg */...);

       int vwscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

DESCRIPTION

       The  scanw(),  wscanw(),  and mvscanw() routines correspond to scanf() (see scanf(3C)). The effect of these routines is as though wgetstr()
       were called on the window, and the resulting line used as input for the scan. Fields which do not map to a variable in the  fmt	field  are
       lost.

       The  vwscanw()  routine	is  similar  to  vwprintw() in that it performs a wscanw() using a variable argument list. The third argument is a
       va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in <varargs.h>.

RETURN VALUES

       vwscanw() returns ERR on failure and an integer equal to the number of fields scanned on success.

       Applications may interrogate the return value from the scanw, wscanw(), mvscanw(), and mvwscanw()  routines  to	determine  the	number	of
       fields which were mapped in the call.
