NAME
mvscanw, mvwscanw, scanw, wscanw — convert formatted input from a window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int mvscanw(int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
int mvwscanw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
int scanw(char *fmt, ...);
int wscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, ...);
DESCRIPTION
These functions are similar to scanf(). Their effect is as though
mvwgetstr() were called to get a
multi-byte character string from the current or specified window at the current or specified cursor posi-
tion, and then
sscanf() were used to interpret and convert that string.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
