#include <curses.h>

int inwstr(wchar_t *wstr);

int innwstr(wchar_t *wstr, int n);

int winwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr);

int winnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr, int n);

int mvinwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);

int mvinnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);

int mvwinwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);

int mvwinnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);

Description

These routines return the string of wchar_t characters in wstr 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 wchar_t characters long.
