SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int instr(char *str);
int innstr(char *str, int n);
int winstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
int winnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
int mvinstr(int y, int x, char *str);
int mvinnstr(int y, int x, char *str, int n);
int mvwinstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
int mvwinnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines return the string of characters in str starting at the
current cursor position in the named window and ending at the right
margin of the window. Attributes are stripped from the characters. The
four functions with n as the last argument return the string at most n
characters long.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h
and unctrl.h.
Note that all routines except winnstr may be macros.
