Ineffect, the string that would be output by \fBprintf\fR is outputinstead as though \fBwaddstr\fR were used on the given window.The \fBvwprintw\fR and \fBwv_printw\fR routines are analogousto \fBvprintf\fR [see \fBprintf\fR(3S)]and perform a \fBwprintw\fR using a variable argument list.The third argument is a \fBva_list\fR, a pointer to alist of arguments, as defined in \fB<stdarg.h>\fR..SH RETURN VALUERoutines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successfulcompletion..SH PORTABILITYThe XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.  The function\fBvwprintw\fR is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be replaced by a function\fBvw_printw\fR using the \fB<stdarg.h>\fR interface.The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that\fBvw_printw\fR  is preferred to \fBvwprintw\fR since the latter requiresincluding \fB<varargs.h>\fR, whichcannot be used in the same file as \fB<stdarg.h>\fR.This implementation uses \fB<stdarg.h>\fR for both, because that headeris included in \fB<curses.h\fR>..SH SEE ALSO\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBprintf\fR(3S), \fBvprintf(3S)\fR.\"#.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS.\"# Local Variables:.\"# mode:nroff.\"# fill-column:79.\"# End:
