Get text on display with ncurses

Question

Is there a way to return the characters output to a variable on ncurses?

let's say that I:

printw("test");

then I want to be able to:

somefunc(strbuffer);
printf("%s",strbuffer); // test

I need a function to return all the characters on the screen to a variable, scr_dump is approaching, but the output format is unreadable.

Answer 1

If you place material on the screen using curses functions (for example, addch, mvaddch, addstr), you can use inchstr) and related functions to read characters from the screen (retrieve them with the return value AND using A_CHARTEXT).

, printf non-curses ( , ), .

Curses , inchstr .

Answer 2

. printw ( ), 8- (ASCII, POSIX, ISO-8859-1), inch inchstr :

• inch
• inchstr

instr . .

, (, UTF-8), . inch inchstr:

• in_wch .. -  

• in_wchstr .. -  

- , X/Open Curses . getcchar ( ) .

A () , :

• inwstr .. - wchar_t
