curs_addchstr(3X)                UNIX System V                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.
