  mvwinwstr, mvwinnwstr - Get a string of wchar_t characters from a Curses
  window

SYNOPSIS
  #include <curses.h>

  int inwstr(
	  wchar_t *str );

  int innwstr(
	  wchar_t *str,
	  int n );

  int winwstr(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  wchar_t *str );

  int winnwstr(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  wchar_t *str,
	  int n );

  int mvinwstr(
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  wchar_t *str );

  int mvinnwstr(
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  wchar_t *str,
	  int n );

  int mvwinwstr(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  wchar_t *str );

  int mvwinnwstr(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  wchar_t *str,
	  int n );

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  inwstr, innwstr, winwstr, winnwstr, mvinwstr, mvinnwstr, mvwinwstr,
  mvwinnwstr:  XCURSES4.2

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
  These routines return a string of wchar_t characters in str, starting at
  the current or specified cursor position in the current or specified window
  and ending at the right margin of the window. The functions strip
  attributes from the characters. The four functions with n as the last
  argument return a string that is at most n wchar_t characters long.

NOTES
  The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
  <stdio.h>.

  Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
  All routines return ERR upon failure. Upon successful completion, the
  *inwstr routines return OK, and the *innwstr routines return the number of
  characters read into the string.
