curs_printw(3ocurses)

curs_printw: printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw -- print formatted output in curses windows

Synopsis

cc [flag . . .] file -locurses [library . . .]

#include <ocurses.h>

int printw(char fmt [, arg] . . .);
int wprintw(WINDOW win, char fmt [, arg] . . .);
int mvprintw(int y, int x, char fmt [, arg] . . .);
int mvwprintw(WINDOW win, int y, int x, char fmt [, arg] . . .);

#include <varargs.h>

int vwprintw(WINDOW win, char fmt, va_list varglist);

Description

The printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are analogous to printf [see fprintf(3S)]. In effect, the string that would be output by printf is output instead as though waddstr was used on the given window.

The vwprintw routine is analogous to vprintf [see fprintf(3S)] and performs a wprintw using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in varargs.h.

Return values

All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
