DESCRIPTION

These routines return a string of type chtype, starting at the current or specified cursor position in the current or specified window and ending at the right margin of the window. The four functions with n as the last argument, return a string that is at most n characters long. Constants defined in <curses.h> can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract the character or the attribute alone from any position in the chstr (see curs_inch(3)).
 

NOTES

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

Note that all routines except winchnstr may be macros.
 

RETURN VALUES

All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful completion.
