DESCRIPTION

31       The printw(), wprintw(), mvprintw(), and mvwprintw() routines are anal‐
32       ogous  to  printf() (see printf(3C) ). In effect, the string that would
33       be output by printf() is output instead as though waddstr()  were  used
34       on the given window.
35
36
37       The  vwprintw() routine is analogous to vprintf() (see vprintf(3C)) and
38       performs a wprintw() using a variable argument list. The third argument
39       is  a  va_list,  a  pointer  to  a  list  of  arguments,  as defined in
40       <varargs.h>.
41

RETURN VALUES

43       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an  integer  value
44       other than ERR upon successful completion.
