DESCRIPTION

32       The vwprintw() 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 <varargs.h>.
35

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

41       No errors are defined.
42

USAGE

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