           inchstr,   inchnstr,   winchstr,   winchnstr,   mvinchstr,
           mvinchnstr, mvwinchstr, mvwinchnstr  -  get  a  string  of
           characters (and attributes) from a curses window

## SYNOPSIS

           #include

           int inchstr(chtype *chstr);
           int inchnstr(chtype *chstr, int n);
           int winchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr);
           int winchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr, int n);
           int mvinchstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr);
           int mvinchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);
           int mvwinchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr);
           int  mvwinchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr,
           int n);

## DESCRIPTION

           These routines return a NULL-terminated  array  of  chtype
           quantities, starting at the current cursor position in the
           named window and ending at the right margin of the window.
           The  four  functions with n as the last argument, return a
           leading substring at most n characters long (exclusive  of
           the  trailing (chtype)0).  Constants defined in
           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(3X)].

## RETURN VALUE

           All routines return the integer ERR upon  failure  and  an
           integer  value  other  than ERR upon successful completion
           (the number of  characters  retrieved,  exclusive  of  the
           trailing 0).

## NOTES

           Note  that  all  routines  except winchnstr may be macros.
           SVr4 does not document whether the result string is 0-ter-
           minated; it does not document whether a length limit argu-
           ment includes any trailing 0; and it does not document the
           meaning of the return value.

## PORTABILITY

           These  functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
           Issue 4.  It is no more specific than the SVr4  documenta-
           tion on the trailing 0.  It does specify that the success-
           ful return of the functions is OK.
