inchnstr, inchstr, mvinchnstr, mvinchstr, mvwinchnstr, mvwinchstr, winchnstr, winchstr - retrieve a single-byte character string (with ren- dition) SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ] c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ] #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); DESCRIPTION
The inchstr() and winchstr() functions retrieve the character string (with rendition) starting at the current cursor position of the std- scr window and window win, respectively, and ending at the right margin. The mvinchstr() and mvwinchstr() functions retrieve the character string located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win). The inchnstr(), winchnstr(), mvinchnstr(), and mvwinchnstr() functions retrieve at most n characters from the window stdscr and win, respectively. The former two functions retrieve the string, starting at the current cursor position; the latter two commands retrieve the string, starting at the position specified by the x and y parameters. All these functions store the retrieved character string in the object pointed to by chstr. The complete character/attribute pair is retrieved. The character or attributes can be extracted by performing a bitwise AND on the retrieved value, using the constants A_CHARTEXT, A_ATTRIBUTES, and A_COLOR. The character string can also be retrieved without attributes by using instr(3XCURSES) set of functions. PARAMETERS
chstr Is a pointer to an object that can hold the retrieved character string. n Is the number of characters not to exceed when retrieving chstr. y Is the y (row) coordinate of the starting position of the string to be retrieved. x Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of the string to be retrieved. win Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be retrieved. RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES
