.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions print formatted strings on
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
or on the specified window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn printw
|
|
function formats and prints its arguments on
|
|
.Dv stdscr .
|
|
The behavior is deliberately similar to that of
|
|
.Xr printf 3 ,
|
|
but, notably, the return value differs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn wprintw
|
|
function is the same as the
|
|
.Fn printw
|
|
function, excepting that the resulting output is printed on the window
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Fa win .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mvprintw
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mvwprintw
|
|
functions are the same as the
|
|
.Fn printw
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn wprintw
|
|
functions, respectively, excepting that
|
|
.Fn wmove
|
|
is called to move the cursor to the position specified by
|
|
.Fa y ,
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
before the output is printed on the window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn unctrl
|
|
function returns a printable string representation of the character
|
|
.Fa ch .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa ch
|
|
is a control character then it will be converted to the form ^Y.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Functions returning pointers will return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if an error is detected.
|
|
The functions that return an int will return one of the following
|
|
values:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ERR -offset indent
|
|
.It Er OK
|
|
The function completed successfully.
|
|
.It Er ERR
|
|
