curs_printw(3) Library Functions Manual curs_printw(3) NAME curs_printw, printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vw_printw, vwprintw - Print formatted output in Curses windows LIBRARY Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so) SYNOPSIS #include <curses.h> int printw(char *fmt [, arg]...); int wprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt [, arg]...); int mvprintw(int y, int x, ,nL char *fmt [, arg]...); int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt [, arg]...); #include <stdarg.h> include <curses.h> int vw_printw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist); #include <varargs.h> include <curses.h> int vwprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX vw_printw, vwprintw: XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION The printw, wprintw, mvprintw, and mvwprintw routines are analogous to printf family of routines (see printf(3)). In effect, the printw rou- tines output the string that would be output by printf as though waddstr were used on the given window. The vw_printw routine is analogous to vprintf (see vprintf(3)) and per- forms the same operation as wprintw but uses a variable argument list. The va_list type is a pointer to a list of arguments and is defined in stdarg.h. The vwprintw routine is equivalent to vw_printw except that va_list is defined in varargs.h. The vw_printw routine is recommended for use in new applications. NOTES The header file curses.h automatically includes the header file stdio.h. RETURN VALUES All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful completion. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: curses(3), printf(3) Others: standards(5) delim off curs_printw(3)
