VWPRINTW(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions VWPRINTW(3XCURSES)

NAME

vwprintw - print formatted output in window

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

#include <varargs.h>
#include <curses.h>

int vwprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

PARAMETERS

fmt
Is a printf() format string.


varglist
Is a pointer to a list of parameters.


win
Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be
written.

DESCRIPTION

The vwprintw() function achieves the same effect as wprintw(3XCURSES)
using a variable argument list. The third argument is a va_list, as
defined in <varargs.h>.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, vwprintw() returns OK. Otherwise, it
returns ERR.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

USAGE

The vwprintw() function is deprecated; the vw_printw(3XCURSES)
function is preferred. The use of the vwprintw() and vw_printw() in
the same file will not work, due to the requirements to include
<varargs.h> and <stdarg.h>, which both contain definitions of
va_list.
