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>NOTES</H2><PRE> Note that all routines except <STRONG>winnwstr</STRONG> may be macros. </PRE> <H2>RETURN VALUES</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. </PRE> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> Functions: <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_instr.3x.html">curs_instr(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_in_wchstr.3x.html">curs_in_wchstr(3x)</A></STRONG> </PRE> <HR> <ADDRESS> Man(1) output converted with <a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
