+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ These routines return a string of characters in <EM>str</EM>,
+ extracted starting at the current cursor position in the
+ named window. Attributes are stripped from the charac-
+ ters. The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument
+ return a leading substring at most <EM>n</EM> characters long
+ (exclusive of the trailing NUL).
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ All of the functions return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure, or the num-
+ ber of characters actually read into the string.
+
+ X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
+ tion, if the window parameter is null or the str parameter
+ is null, a zero is returned.
+
+ Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
+ ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
+ outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ Note that all routines except <STRONG>winnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ SVr4 does not document whether a length limit includes or
+ excludes the trailing NUL.
+
+ The ncurses library extends the XSI description by allow-
+ ing a negative value for <EM>n</EM>. In this case, the functions
+ return the string ending at the right margin.
