Dunno 'bout the documentation but if Intellisense is to taken at it's word then it should be returning the address of a string where the input is stored. The string in the documentation appears to be intended as an optional prompt which, at this point, I guess you'll need to provide by yourself.
AAR, I think your looking at something like:
char *inBuff; // a pointer to track the location of the resulting string
inBuff = dbInput; // get onscreen input and save location of the string
dbPrint (inBuff); // print the result to the screen (optional?)
delete [] inBuff; // recover the memory used by the string
