-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The function <STRONG>getstr</STRONG> is equivalent to a series of calls to
- <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, until a newline or carriage return is received (the
- terminating character is not included in the returned
- string). The resulting value is placed in the area
- pointed to by the character pointer <EM>str</EM>.
-
- <STRONG>wgetnstr</STRONG> reads at most <EM>n</EM> characters, thus preventing a
- possible overflow of the input buffer. Any attempt to
- enter more characters (other than the terminating newline
- or carriage return) causes a beep. Function keys also
- cause a beep and are ignored. The <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG> function reads
- from the <EM>stdscr</EM> default window.
-
- The user's erase and kill characters are interpreted. If
- keypad mode is on for the window, <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG> and
- <STRONG>KEY_BACKSPACE</STRONG> are both considered equivalent to the user's
- kill character.
-
- Characters input are echoed only if <STRONG>echo</STRONG> is currently on.
- In that case, backspace is echoed as deletion of the pre-
- vious character (typically a left motion).
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
- (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>")
- upon successful completion.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- Note that <STRONG>getstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvgetstr</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwgetstr</STRONG> may be macros.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
- Issue 4. They read single-byte characters only. The
- standard does not define any error conditions. This
- implementation returns ERR if the window pointer is null,
- or if the lower-level <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> call returns an ERR.
- SVr3 and early SVr4 curses implementations did not reject
- function keys; the SVr4.0 documentation claimed that "spe-
- cial keys" (such as function keys, "home" key, "clear"
- key, <EM>etc</EM>.) are interpreted" without giving details. It
- lied. In fact, the `character' value appended to the
- string by those implementations was predictable but not
- useful (being, in fact, the low-order eight bits of the
- key's KEY_ value).
-
- The functions <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvgetnstr</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwgetnstr</STRONG> were pre-
- sent but not documented in SVr4.
