X/Open Curses Library Functionsmvscanw(3XCURSES)


NAME

 mvscanw, mvwscanw, scanw, wscanw - convert formatted input from a window

SYNOPSIS

 
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

#include <curses.h>
int mvscanw(int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
 int mvwscanw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
 int scanw(char *fmt, ...);
 int wscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, ...);

PARAMETERS

 
y
Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to be read.
x
Is the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character to be read.
fmt
Is a scanf() format string.
win
Is a pointer to the window in which the character is to be read.

DESCRIPTION

 

These functions are similar to scanf(3C). Their effect is as though mvwgetstr(3XCURSES) were called to get a multi-byte character string from the current or specified window at the current or specified cursor position, and then sscanf() were used to interpret and convert that string.


RETURN VALUES

 

Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.


ERRORS

 

No errors are defined.
