71 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
72        These functions return an array of complex  characters  in
73        <EM>wchstr</EM>,  starting  at  the  current cursor position in the
74        named window.  Attributes (rendition) are stored with  the
75        characters.
76
77        The  <STRONG>in_wchnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvin_wchnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwin_wchnstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>win_wchn-</STRONG>
78        <STRONG>str</STRONG> fill the array with at most <EM>n</EM> <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> elements.
79
80
81 </PRE>
82 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
83        Note that all routines except <STRONG>win_wchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
84
85        Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by <EM>wch-</EM>
86        <EM>str</EM>  with <STRONG>in_wchstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvin_wchstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwin_wchstr</STRONG> or <STRONG>win_wch-</STRONG>
87        <STRONG>str</STRONG>  causes  undefined  results.  Therefore,  the  use  of
88        <STRONG>in_wchnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvin_wchnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwin_wchnstr</STRONG>, or <STRONG>win_wchnstr</STRONG> is
89        recommended.

99 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
100        The  XSI  Curses defines no error conditions.  This imple-
101        mentation checks for null pointers, returning ERR in  that
102        case.
