+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines return a NULL-terminated array of \fBchtype\fP quantities,
+starting at the current cursor position in the named window and ending at the
+right margin of the window.
+.PP
+The four functions with \fIn\fP as the last argument, return
+a leading substring at most \fIn\fP characters long
+(exclusive of the trailing (chtype)0).
+Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when \fIn\fP characters have
+been stored at the location referenced by \fIchstr\fP.
+.PP
+Constants defined in \fB<curses.h>\fP can be used with the \fB&\fP (logical
+AND) operator to extract the character or the attribute alone from any position
+in the \fIchstr\fP [see \fBcurs_inch\fP(3X)].
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All routines return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and an integer value
+other than \fBERR\fP upon successful completion (the number of characters
+retrieved, exclusive of the trailing 0).
+.PP
+X/Open Curses defines no error conditions.
+This implementation returns an error
+.bP
+if the \fIwin\fP parameter is null or
+.bP
+if the \fIchstr\fP parameter is null.
+.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
+All routines except \fBwinchnstr\fP may be macros.
+.PP
+SVr4 does not
+document whether the result string is zero-terminated; it does not document
+whether a length limit argument includes any trailing 0; and it does not
+document the meaning of the return value.
+.PP
+Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by
+\fIchstr\fP
+with
+\fBinchstr\fP,
+\fBmvinchstr\fP,
+\fBmvwinchstr\fP
+or
+\fBwinchstr\fP
+causes undefined results.
+Therefore, the use of
+\fBinchnstr\fP,
+\fBmvinchnstr\fP,
+\fBmvwinchnstr\fP, or
+\fBwinchnstr\fP
+is recommended.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+It is no
+more specific than the SVr4 documentation on the trailing 0.
+It does specify
+that the successful return of the functions is \fBOK\fP.
