.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The effect of
|
|
\fBget_wstr\fR
|
|
is as though a series of calls
|
|
to
|
|
\fBget_wch\fR
|
|
were made, until a newline, other end-of-line, or end-of-file condition is processed.
|
|
An end-of-file condition is represented by \fBWEOF\fR, as defined in \fB<wchar.h>\fR.
|
|
The newline and end-of-line conditions are represented by the \fB\\n\fR \fBwchar_t\fR value.
|
|
In all instances, the end of the string is terminated by a null \fBwchar_t\fR.
|
|
The routine places resulting values in the area pointed to by \fIwstr\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The user's erase and kill characters are interpreted. If keypad
|
|
mode is on for the window, \fBKEY_LEFT\fR and \fBKEY_BACKSPACE\fR
|
|
are both considered equivalent to the user's kill character.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Characters input are echoed only if \fBecho\fR is currently on. In that case,
|
|
backspace is echoed as deletion of the previous character (typically a left
|
|
motion).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The effect of
|
|
\fBwget_wstr\fR
|
|
is as though a series of
|
|
calls to
|
|
\fBwget_wch\fR
|
|
were made.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The effect of
|
|
\fBmvget_wstr\fR
|
|
is as though a call to
|
|
\fBmove\fR
|
|
and then a series of calls to
|
|
\fBget_wch\fR
|
|
were
|
|
made.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The effect of
|
|
\fBmvwget_wstr\fR
|
|
is as though a call to
|
|
\fBwmove\fR
|
|
and then a series of calls to
|
|
\fBwget_wch\fR
|
|
were made.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
\fBgetn_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvgetn_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvwgetn_wstr\fR, and
|
|
\fBwgetn_wstr\fR
|
|
functions are identical
|
|
to the
|
|
\fBget_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvget_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvwget_wstr\fR, and
|
|
\fBwget_wstr\fR
|
|
functions, respectively,
|
|
except that the
|
|
\fB*n_*\fR
|
|
versions read at most
|
|
\fIn\fR
|
|
characters, letting the application prevent overflow of the
|
|
input buffer.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Using
|
|
\fBget_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvget_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvwget_wstr\fR, or
|
|
\fBwget_wstr\fR
|
|
to read a line that
|
|
overflows the array pointed to by
|
|
\fBwstr\fR
|
|
causes undefined
|
|
results.
|
|
The use of
|
|
\fBgetn_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvgetn_wstr\fR,
|
|
\fBmvwgetn_wstr\fR, or
|
|
\fBwgetn_wstr\fR, respectively, is recommended.
|
|
.PP
|
|
These functions cannot return \fBKEY_\fR values because there
|
|
is no way to distinguish a \fBKEY_\fR value from a valid \fBwchar_t\fR value.
|
|
.PP
|
|
All of these routines except \fBwgetn_wstr\fR may be macros.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
All of these functions return \fBOK\fR upon successful completion.
|
|
Otherwise, they return \fBERR\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Functions using a window parameter return an error if it is null.
|
|
.RS
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
\fBwgetn_wstr\fP
|
|
returns an error if the associated call to \fBwget_wch\fP failed.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
These functions are described in The Single Unix Specification, Version 2.
|
|
No error conditions are defined.
|
|
This implementation returns ERR if the window pointer is null,
|
|
or if the lower-level \fBwget_wch\fR call returns an ERR.
|
|
In the latter case,
|
|
an ERR return without other data is treated as an end-of-file condition,
|
|
and the returned array contains a \fBWEOF\fR followed by a null \fBwchar_t\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
X/Open curses documents these functions to pass an array of \fBwchar_t\fR,
|
|
but all of the vendors implement this using \fBwint_t\fR.
|
|
