DESCRIPTION

44       The  mvprintw(),  mvwprintw(),  printw(),  and  wprintw() functions are
45       analogous to printf(3C). The effect of these  functions  is  as  though
46       sprintf()  were  used  to format the string, and then waddstr(3XCURSES)
47       were used to add that multi-byte string to  the  current  or  specified
48       window at the current or specified cursor position.
49

RETURN VALUES

51       Upon  successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they
52       return ERR.
53

ERRORS

55        No errors are defined.
