string-length
|
The length of the string to write. If this would go off the end of the screen, the write finishes at the end of the screen.
|
On Exit:
|
character-buffer
|
The characters read from the screen. This data item must be at least as long as specified by
string-length; positions in it beyond that length are unchanged.
|
|
attribute-buffer
|
The attributes read from the screen. This data item must be at least as long as specified by
string-length; positions in it beyond that length are unchanged.
|
|
string-length
|
If the end of the screen is reached the length swapped (in cells, that is, character-attribute pairs) is returned in here.
