NAME

mvprintw, mvwprintw, printw, wprintw — print formatted output in window

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int mvprintw(int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);

int mvwprintw(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *fmt, ...);

int printw(char *fmt, ...);

int wprintw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, ...);

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

SEE ALSO

CHANGE HISTORY

First released in X/Open Curses, Issue 2.

X/Open Curses, Issue 4

The entry is rewritten for clarity and its name is changed from printw() to mvprintw().
