DESCRIPTION

32       The vw_printw() function achieves the same effect as  wprintw(3XCURSES)
33       using  a  variable  argument  list. The third argument is a va_list, as
34       defined in <stdarg.h>.
35

RETURN VALUES

37       Upon successful  completion,  vw_printw()  returns  OK.  Otherwise,  it
38       returns ERR.
39

ERRORS

41       No errors are defined.
42

USAGE

44       The  vw_printw() function is preferred over vwprintw(3XCURSES). The use
45       of the vwprintw() and vw_printw() in the same file will not  work,  due
46       to  the  requirements to include <varargs.h> and <stdarg.h>, which both
47       contain definitions of va_list.
