int mvscanw(
int y,
int x,
char *fmt,
...);
int mvwscanw(
WINDOW *win,
int y,
int x,
char *fmt,
...);
int scanw(
char *fmt,
...);
int wscanw(
WINDOW *win,
char *fmt,
...);
PARAMETERS
y Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to
be read.
x Is the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character
to be read.
fmt Is a
scanf() format string.
win Is a pointer to the window in which the character is to be
read.
DESCRIPTION
These functions are similar to
scanf(3C). Their effect is as though
mvwgetstr(3XCURSES) were called to get a multi-byte character string
from the current or specified window at the current or specified
cursor position, and then
sscanf() were used to interpret and convert
that string.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return
OK. Otherwise,
they return
ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
