| 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. |
