curs_printw(3X)curs_printw(3X)NAME
curs_printw: printw, wprintw, mvprintw, mvwprintw, vwprintw - print
formatted output in curses windows
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int printw(char *fmt [, arg] ...);
int wprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt [, arg] ...);
int mvprintw(int y, int x, char *fmt [, arg] ...);
int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x,
char *fmt [, arg] ...);
#include <varargs.h>
int vwprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, varglist);
DESCRIPTION
The printw, wprintw, mvprintw and mvwprintw routines are analogous to
printf [see printf(3S)]. In effect, the string that would be output by
printf is output instead as though waddstr were used on the given window.
The vwprintw routine is analogous to vprintf [see vprintf(3S)] and
performs a wprintw using a variable argument list. The third argument is
a va_list, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in <varargs.h>.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
<stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
