int mvprintw(
int y,
int x,
char *fmt,
...);
int mvwprintw(
WINDOW *win,
int y,
int x,
char *fmt,
...);
int printw(
char *fmt,
...);
int wprintw(
WINDOW *win,
char *fmt,
...);
PARAMETERS
y Is the y (row) coordinate position of the string's placement
in the window.
x Is the x (column) coordinate position of the string's
placement in the window.
fmt Is a
printf() format string.
win Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be
written.
DESCRIPTION
The
mvprintw(),
mvwprintw(),
printw(), and
wprintw() functions are
analogous to
printf(3C). The effect of these functions is as though
sprintf() were used to format the string, and then
waddstr(3XCURSES) were used to add that multi-byte string to the current or specified
window at the current or specified cursor position.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return
OK. Otherwise,
they return
ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
