<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These  routines  return  a string of <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> characters in
       <EM>wstr</EM>, extracted starting at the current cursor position in
       the  named window.  Attributes are stripped from the char-
       acters.  The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as  the  last  argument
       return a leading substring at most <EM>n</EM> bytes long (exclusive
       of the trailing NUL).  Transfer stops at the  end  of  the
       current  line,  or  when  <EM>n</EM>  bytes have been stored at the
       location referenced by <EM>wstr</EM>.

       If the size <EM>n</EM> is not large  enough  to  store  a  complete
       character, an error is generated.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       Note that all routines except <STRONG>winnwstr</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       All routines return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure. Upon successful com-
       pletion, the *<STRONG>inwstr</STRONG> routines return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, and the  *<STRONG>innwstr</STRONG>
       routines  return  the  number  of characters read into the
       string.

       Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
       ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
       outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
