DESCRIPTION
These routines return a string of wchar_t characters in str, starting
at the current or specified cursor position in the current or specified
window and ending at the right margin of the window. The functions
strip attributes from the characters. The four functions with n as the
last argument return a string that is at most n wchar_t characters
long.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
<stdio.h>.
Note that all routines except winnwstr may be macros.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return ERR upon failure. Upon successful completion, the
*inwstr routines return OK, and the *innwstr routines return the number
of characters read into the string.
