               char   *fmt[,   arg]...   );  #include  <stdarg.h>
       include <curses.h>

       int vw_printw(

       int vwprintw(

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Interfaces  documented  on  this reference page conform to
       industry standards as follows:

       printw,   wprintw,   mvprintw,    mvwprintw,    vw_printw,
       vwprintw:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information
 about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The printw, wprintw, mvprintw, and mvwprintw routines  are
       analogous to printf family of routines (see printf(3)). In
       effect, the printw routines output the string  that  would
       be  output  by  printf  as though waddstr were used on the
       given window.

       The  vw_printw  routine  is  analogous  to  vprintf   (see
       vprintf(3)) and performs the same operation as wprintw but
       uses a variable argument  list.  The  va_list  type  is  a
       pointer   to  a  list  of  arguments  and  is  defined  in
       <stdarg.h>.

       The vwprintw routine is  equivalent  to  vw_printw  except
       that va_list is defined in <varargs.h>. The vw_printw routine
 is recommended for use in new applications.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The header  file  <curses.h>  automatically  includes  the
       header file <stdio.h>.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       All  routines  return  the integer ERR upon failure and OK
       upon successful completion.
