>Description:
There is a small typo in the curses_inch.3 manual page which is a bit confusing - nothing serious though.
It says that it's not advised to use the winchnstr function because when you use this function the
character buffer can be overflowed, but the winchnstr function is the 'safer' replacement of the
winchstr function, which actually does have this problem. A patch is attached.
