curs_addstr(3X)                  UNIX System V                  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.
