int sm_ww_read(int field_number, char *buffer, int nbytes, int offset);
int sm_n_ww_read(char *field_name, char *buffer, int nbytes, int offset);

field_name, field_number
Specifies the field whose contents you want to read. Word wrapped text is allowed only in multiline text widgets whose word_wrap property is set to PV_YES.
