curs_addstr(3X)                                             curs_addstr(3X)


   NAME
         cursaddstr:  addstr, addnstr, waddstr, waddnstr, mvaddstr,
         mvaddnstr, mvwaddstr, mvwaddnstr - add a string of characters to a
         curses window and advance cursor

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <curses.h>

         int addstr(char *str);
         int addnstr(char *str, int n);
         int waddstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
         int waddnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
         int mvaddstr(y, int x, char *str);
         int mvaddnstr(y, int x, char *str, int n);
         int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
         int mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str,
               int n);

   DESCRIPTION
         All of these routines write all the characters of the null terminated
         character string str on the given window.  It is similar to calling
         waddch once for each character in the string.  The four routines with
         n as the last argument write at most n characters.  If n is negative,
         then the entire string will be added.

   RETURN VALUE
         All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
         other than ERR upon successful completion.

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

         Note that all of these routines except waddstr and waddnstr may be
         macros.
