63 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
---|
64 | These routines return a NULL-terminated array of \fBchtype\fR quantities,
|
---|
65 | starting at the current cursor position in the named window and ending at the
|
---|
66 | right margin of the window. The four functions with \fIn\fR as
|
---|
67 | the last argument, return a leading substring at most \fIn\fR characters long
|
---|
68 | (exclusive of the trailing (chtype)0).
|
---|
69 | Constants defined in \fB<curses.h>\fR can be used with the \fB&\fR (logical
|
---|
70 | AND) operator to extract the character or the attribute alone from any position
|
---|
71 | in the \fIchstr\fR [see \fBcurs_inch\fR(3X)].
|
---|
72 | .SH RETURN VALUE
|
---|
73 | All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
|
---|
74 | other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion (the number of characters
|
---|
75 | retrieved, exclusive of the trailing 0).
|
---|
76 | .PP
|
---|
77 | No error conditions are defined.
|
---|
78 | If the \fIchstr\fP parameter is null,
|
---|
79 | no data is returned,
|
---|
80 | and the return value is zero.
|
---|
81 | .SH NOTES
|
---|
82 | Note that all routines except \fBwinchnstr\fR may be macros. SVr4 does not
|
---|
83 | document whether the result string is 0-terminated; it does not document
|
---|
84 | whether a length limit argument includes any trailing 0; and it does not
|
---|
85 | document the meaning of the return value.
|
---|
86 | .SH PORTABILITY
|
---|
87 | These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. It is no
|
---|
88 | more specific than the SVr4 documentation on the trailing 0. It does specify
|
---|
89 | that the successful return of the functions is \fBOK\fR.
