Unsafe
These routines return a string of type chtype, holding wchar_t
characters, starting at the current cursor position in the named window
and ending at the right margin of the window. The four functions with n
as the last argument, return the string at most n wchar_t characters long.
Constants defined in <curses.h> can be used with the logical AND
(&) operator
to extract the wchar_t character or the attribute alone from any position
in the wchstr (see curs_inwch(3X)
).
All routines return the
integer ERR
upon failure and an integer value other than ERR
upon successful
completion.

The header file <curses.h>
automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h>, and <widec.h>.
Note
that all routines except winwchnstr() may be macros.
None of these routines
can use the color attribute in chtype.
