vwscanw(3XCURSES)	X/Open Curses Library Functions	     vwscanw(3XCURSES)

NAME
       vwscanw - convert formatted input from a window

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <varargs.h>
       #include <curses.h>

       int vwscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

PARAMETERS
       fmt			Is a scanf() format string.

       varglist		       Is a pointer to a list of parameters.

       win		       Is a pointer to the window in which the charac‐
			       ter is to be read.

DESCRIPTION
       The vwscanw() function achieves the  same  effect  as  wscanw(3XCURSES)
       using  a	 variable  argument  list. The third argument is a va_list, as
       defined in <varargs.h>.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, vwscanw() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns
       ERR.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

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