CURS_PRINTW(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions CURS_PRINTW(3CURSES)
NAME
curs_printw, printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw - print
formatted output in curses windows
SYNOPSIS
cc [
flag ... ]
file ...
-lcurses [
library ... ]
#include <curses.h>
int printw(
char *fmt,
/* arg */ ... );
int wprintw(
WINDOW *win,
char *fmt,
/* arg */ ... );
int mvprintw(
int y,
int x,
char *fmt,
/* arg */ ... );
int mvwprintw(
WINDOW *win,
int y,
int x,
char *fmt,
/* arg */... );
#include <varargs.h>
int vwprintw(
WINDOW *win,
char *fmt,
/* varglist */ ... );
DESCRIPTION
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>.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer
ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than
ERR upon successful completion.
