CURSES_PRINT(3) NetBSD Library Functions Manual CURSES_PRINT(3)
NAME
curses_print, printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, unctrl -- curses
print formatted strings on windows routines
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int
printw(const char *fmt, ...);
int
wprintw(WINDOW *win, const char *fmt, ...);
int
mvprintw(int y, int x, const char *fmt, ...);
int
mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *fmt, ...);
char *
unctrl(chtype ch);
DESCRIPTION
These functions print formatted strings on stdscr or on the specified
window.
The printw() function formats and prints its arguments on stdscr. The
behavior is deliberately similar to that of printf(3), but, notably, the
return value differs.
The wprintw() function is the same as the printw() function, excepting
that the resulting output is printed on the window specified by win.
The mvprintw() and mvwprintw() functions are the same as the printw() and
wprintw() functions, respectively, excepting that wmove() is called to
move the cursor to the position specified by y, x before the output is
printed on the window.
The unctrl() function returns a printable string representation of the
character ch. If ch is a control character then it will be converted to
the form ^Y.
RETURN VALUES
Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.
The functions that return an int will return one of the following values:
OK The function completed successfully.
ERR An error occurred in the function.
