The four +functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return a leading substring at most +\fIn\fR characters long (exclusive of the trailing NUL). +.SH RETURN VALUE +All of the functions return \fBERR\fR upon failure, +or the number of characters actually read into the string. +.SH NOTES +Note that all routines except \fBwinnstr\fR may be macros. +.SH PORTABILITY +The XSI Curses +error conditions \fBEILSEQ\fR and \fBEILOVERFLOW\fR associated with +extended-level conformance are not yet detected (this implementation does not +yet support XPG4 multibyte characters). +SVr4 does not +document whether a length limit includes or excludes the trailing NUL. +.PP +The ncurses library extends the XSI description by allowing a negative +value for \fIn\fR. +In this case, the functions return the string ending at the right margin. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X). +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: + |
