int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, /* arg */... );
#include <varargs.h>
int vwprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, /* varglist */ ... );
The printw(), wprintw(), mvprintw(), and mvwprintw() routines are
analogous to printf() (see printf(3C) ). In effect, the string that
would be output by printf() is output instead as though waddstr()
were used on the given window.
The vwprintw() routine is analogous to vprintf() (see vprintf(3C))
and performs a wprintw() using a variable argument list. The third
argument is a va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined
in <varargs.h>.
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
