DESCRIPTION

45       These functions are similar to scanf(3C). Their  effect  is  as  though
46       mvwgetstr(3XCURSES)  were  called  to get a multi-byte character string
47       from the current or specified window at the current or specified cursor
48       position,  and  then  sscanf()  were used to interpret and convert that
49       string.
50

RETURN VALUES

52       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise,  they
53       return ERR.
54

ERRORS

56       No errors are defined.
