+.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +The function +\fBwgetn_wstr\fP +is equivalent to a series of calls to +\fB\%wget_wch\fP(3NCURSES) +until a newline or carriage return terminates the series: +.bP +The terminating character is not included in the returned string. +.bP +An end-of-file condition is represented by \fBWEOF\fP, +as defined in \fB<wchar.h>\fP. +.bP +In all instances, the end of the string is terminated +by a null \fBwchar_t\fP. +.bP +The function stores the result in the area pointed to +by the \fIwstr\fP parameter. +.bP +The function reads at most \fIn\fP characters, +thus preventing a possible overflow of the input buffer. +.IP +Any attempt to enter more characters +(other than the terminating newline or carriage return) +causes a beep. +.IP +Function keys also cause a beep and are ignored. +.PP +The user's \fIerase\fP and \fIkill\fP characters are interpreted: +.bP +The \fIerase\fP character (e.g., \fB^H\fP) erases the character +at the end of the buffer, moving the cursor to the left. +.IP +If \fIkeypad\fP mode is on for the window, +\fBKEY_LEFT\fP and \fBKEY_BACKSPACE\fP +are both considered equivalent to the user's \fIerase\fP character. +.bP +The \fIkill\fP character (e.g., \fB^U\fP) erases the entire buffer, +leaving the cursor at the beginning of the buffer. +.PP +Characters input are echoed only if \fBecho\fP is currently on. +In that case, +backspace is echoed as deletion of the previous character +(typically a left motion). +.PP +The +\fBgetn_wstr\fP, +\fBmvgetn_wstr\fP, +\fBmvwgetn_wstr\fP, and +\fBwgetn_wstr\fP +functions are identical +to the +\fBget_wstr\fP, +\fBmvget_wstr\fP, +\fBmvwget_wstr\fP, and +\fBwget_wstr\fP +functions, respectively, +except that the +\fB*n_*\fP +versions read at most +\fIn\fP +characters, letting the application prevent overflow of the +input buffer. +.SH RETURN VALUE +All of these functions return the integer \fBOK\fP upon successful completion. +If unsuccessful, they return \fBERR\fP. +.PP +X/Open defines no error conditions. +.PP +In this implementation, +these functions return an error +.bP +if the window pointer is null, +.bP +if its timeout expires without having any data, or +.bP +if the associated call to +\fBwget_wch\fP +failed. +.PP +Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using +\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window, +or if the window pointer is null. +.SH NOTES +Any of these functions other than +\fBwgetn_wstr\fP +may be macros. +.PP +Using +\fBget_wstr\fP, +\fBmvget_wstr\fP, +\fBmvwget_wstr\fP, or +\fBwget_wstr\fP +to read a line that +overflows the array pointed to by +\fBwstr\fP +causes undefined +results. +The use of +\fBgetn_wstr\fP, +\fBmvgetn_wstr\fP, +\fBmvwgetn_wstr\fP, or +\fBwgetn_wstr\fP, +respectively, is recommended. +.PP +These functions cannot return \fBKEY_\fP values because there +is no way to distinguish a \fBKEY_\fP value from a valid \fBwchar_t\fP value. +.SH PORTABILITY +These functions are described in The Single Unix Specification, Version 2. +No error conditions are defined. +.PP +This implementation returns \fBERR\fP if the window pointer is null, +or if the lower-level \fBwget_wch\fP call returns an \fBERR\fP. +In the latter case, +an \fBERR\fP return without other data is treated as an end-of-file condition, +and the returned array contains a \fBWEOF\fP followed by a null \fBwchar_t\fP. +.PP +X/Open curses documented these functions to pass an array of \fBwchar_t\fP +in 1997, but that was an error because of this part of the description: +.RS +.PP +The effect of \fBget_wstr\fP is as though a series of calls to +\fBget_wch\fP were made, until a newline character, end-of-line character, or +end-of-file character is processed. +.RE +.PP +The latter function \fIget_wch\fP can return a negative value, +while \fBwchar_t\fP is a unsigned type. +All of the vendors implement this using \fBwint_t\fP, following the standard. +.PP +X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) is unclear regarding whether +the terminating \fInull \fBwchar_t\fR +value is counted in the length parameter \fIn\fP. +X/Open Curses, Issue 7 revised the corresponding description +of \fBwgetnstr\fP to address this issue. +The unrevised description of \fBwget_nwstr\fP can be interpreted either way. +This implementation counts the terminator in the length. +.PP +X/Open Curses does not specify what happens if the length \fIn\fP is negative. +.bP +For analogy with \fBwgetnstr\fP, +\fI\%ncurses\fP 6.2 uses a limit (based on \fBLINE_MAX\fP). +.bP +Some other implementations (such as Solaris xcurses) do the same, +while others (PDCurses) do not allow this. +.bP +NetBSD 7 curses imitates \fI\%ncurses\fP 6.1 in this regard, +treating a \fB\-1\fP as an indefinite number of characters. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fB\%ncurses\fP(3NCURSES), +\fB\%getstr\fP(3NCURSES), +\fB\%get_wch\fP(3NCURSES) |
