DESCRIPTION
       The 
in_wchstr() and 
win_wchstr() functions retrieve a complex
       character string (with rendition) starting at the current cursor
       position of the 
stdscr window and window 
win, respectively, and
       ending at  the right margin. The 
mvin_wchstr() and 
mvwin_wchstr()       functions retrieve a complex character string located at the position
       indicated by the 
x  (column) and 
y (row) parameters (the former in
       the 
stdscr window; the latter in window 
win).
       The 
in_wchnstr(), 
win_wchnstr(), 
mvin_wchnstr(), and 
mvwin_wchnstr()       functions retrieve at most 
n characters from the window 
stdscr and       
win, respectively. The former two functions retrieve the string,
       starting at the current cursor  position; the latter two commands
       retrieve the string, starting at the position  specified by the 
x and       
y parameters.
       The retrieved character string (with renditions) is stored in the
       object pointed to by 
wcval.
PARAMETERS
       wchstr                 Is a pointer to an object where the retrieved complex
                 character string can be stored.       
n                 Is the number of characters not to exceed when retrieving                 
wchstr.       
y                 Is the y (row) coordinate of the starting position of the
                 string to be retrieved.       
x                 Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of
                 the string to be retrieved.       
win                 Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be
                 retrieved.
RETURN VALUES
       On success, these functions return 
OK. Otherwise, they return 
ERR.
ERRORS
       None.
