curs_addchstr(3X)                                         curs_addchstr(3X)


   NAME
         cursaddchstr:  addchstr, addchnstr, waddchstr, waddchnstr,
         mvaddchstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr - add string of
         characters (and attributes) to a curses window

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <curses.h>

         int addchstr(chtype *chstr);
         int addchnstr(chtype *chstr, int n);
         int waddchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr);
         int waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *chstr, int n);
         int mvaddchstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr);
         int mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *chstr, int n);
         int mvwaddchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *chstr);
         int mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x,
               chtype *chstr, int n);

   DESCRIPTION
         All of these routines copy chstr directly into the window image
         structure starting at the current cursor position.  The four routines
         with  n as the last argument copy at most n elements, but no more
         than will fit on the line.  If n=-1 then the whole string is copied,
         to the maximum number that fit on the line.

         The position of the window cursor is NOT advanced.  These routines
         works faster than waddnstr because they merely copy chstr into the
         window image structure.  On the other hand, care must be taken when
         using these functions because they don't perform any kind of checking
         (such as for the newline character), they don't advance the current
         cursor position, and they truncate the string, rather then wrapping
         it around to the new line.

   RETURN VALUE
         All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
         other than ERR upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in
         the preceding routine descriptions.

   NOTES
         The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
         <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

         Note that all routines except waddchnstr may be macros.
