.SH DESCRIPTION
-These routines return a string of \fBwchar_t\fR characters in \fIwstr\fR,
+.PP
+These routines return a string of \fBwchar_t\fR wide characters in \fIwstr\fR,
extracted starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
-Attributes are stripped from the characters.
-The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return a leading substring at most
-\fIn\fR bytes long (exclusive of the trailing NUL).
-Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when \fIn\fR bytes have
+.PP
+The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return
+a leading substring at most \fIn\fR characters long
+(exclusive of the trailing NUL).
+Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when \fIn\fR characters have
been stored at the location referenced by \fIwstr\fR.
.PP
-If the size \fIn\fR is not large enough to store a complete character,
+If the size \fIn\fR is not large enough to store a complete complex character,
an error is generated.
.SH NOTES
-Note that all routines except
+.PP
+All routines except
\fBwinnwstr\fR
may be macros.
+.PP
+Each cell in the window holds a complex character (i.e., base-
+and combining-characters) together with attributes and color.
+These functions store only the wide characters,
+ignoring attributes and color.
+Use \fBin_wchstr\fP to return the complex characters from a window.
.SH RETURN VALUE

\fBERR\fR
-upon failure. Upon
+upon failure.
+Upon
successful completion, the *\fBinwstr\fR
routines return
\fBOK\fR, and the *\fBinnwstr\fR
routines return the
number of characters read into the string.

+Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using
\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
or if the window pointer is null.
