NAME
mvprintw, mvwprintw, printw, wprintw — print formatted output in window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int mvprintw(int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);
int printw(char *fmt, ...);
int wprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, ...);
DESCRIPTION
The
mvprintw(),
mvwprintw(),
printw()
and
wprintw()
functions are analogous to
printf().
The effect of these functions is as though
sprintf()
were used to format the string, and then
waddstr()
were used to add that multi-byte string to the current or specified window at
the current or specified cursor position.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.
Otherwise, they return ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
