.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
|
|
(exclusive of the trailing (chtype)0).
|
|
Constants defined in \fB<curses.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 \fBcurs_inch\fR(3X)].
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
|
|
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion (the number of characters
|
|
retrieved, exclusive of the trailing 0).
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Note that all routines except \fBwinchnstr\fR may be macros. SVr4 does not
|
|
document whether the result string is 0-terminated; it does not document
|
|
whether a length limit argument includes any trailing 0; and it does not
|
|
document the meaning of the return value.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. It is no
|
|
more specific than the SVr4 documentation on the trailing 0. It does specify
|
|
that the successful return of the functions is \fBOK\fR.
