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 curs_inch(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. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_inch\fR(3X). +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: |
