CRTL, [w]printw
*Conan The Librarian
|
Perform a printf in the specified window, starting at the current
position of the cursor. The printw function acts on the stdscr
window.
Format
#include <curses.h>
printw (char *format_spec, . . . );
int wprintw (WINDOW *win, char *format_spec, . . . );
win
A pointer to the window.
format_spec
A pointer to the format specification string.
. . .
Optional expressions whose resultant types correspond to
conversion specifications given in the format specification.
If no conversion specifications are given, you may omit the
output sources. Otherwise, the function call must have exactly
as many output sources as there are conversion specifications,
and the conversion specifications must match the types of the
output sources.
Conversion specifications are matched to output sources in left-
to-right order. Excess output pointers, if any, are ignored.
The formatting specification (format_spec) and the other
arguments are identical to those used with the printf function.
The printw and wprintw functions format and then print the
resultant string to the window using the addstr function. For
more information, see the printf and scrollok functions in this
section.
OK Indicates success.
ERR Indicates that the function makes the window
scroll illegally.
