.SH NAME
\fBinchstr\fR, \fBinchnstr\fR, \fBwinchstr\fR,
\fBwinchnstr\fR, \fBmvinchstr\fR, \fBmvinchnstr\fR, \fBmvwinchstr\fR,
\fBmvwinchnstr\fR - get a string of characters (and attributes) from a \fBncurses\fR window
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <ncurses.h>\fR
\fBint inchstr(chtype *chstr);\fR
.br
\fBint inchnstr(chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
.br
\fBint winchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr);\fR
.br
\fBint winchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
.br
\fBint mvinchstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr);\fR
.br
\fBint mvinchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
.br
\fBint mvwinchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr);\fR
.br
\fBint mvwinchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines return a NULL-terminated array of \fBchtype\fR quantities,
starting at the current cursor position in the named window and ending at the
right margin of the window. The four functions with \fIn\fR as
the last argument, return a leading substring at most \fIn\fR characters long.
Constants defined in \fB<ncurses.h>\fR can be used with the \fB&\fR (logical
AND) operator to extract the character or the attribute alone from any position
in the \fIchstr\fR [see curs_inch(3)].
.SH RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
.SH NOTES
Note that all routines except \fBwinchnstr\fR may be macros.
