curs_addwchstr(3X)             27 Jan 1992               curs_addwchstr(3X)

NAME
     cursaddwchstr:  addwchstr, addwchnstr, waddwchstr, waddwchnstr,
     mvaddwchstr, mvaddwchnstr, mvwaddwchstr, mvwaddwchnstr - add string of
     wchart characters (and attributes) to a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int addwchstr(chtype *wchstr);
     int addwchnstr(chtype *wchstr, int n);
     int waddwchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr);
     int waddwchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr, int n);
     int mvaddwchstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);
     int mvaddwchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr, int n);
     int mvwaddwchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);
     int mvwaddwchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x,
          chtype *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     All of these routines copy wchstr which points to a string of wchart
     characters directly into the window image structure starting at the
     current cursor position. The four routines with  n as the last argu-
     ment 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 work
     faster than waddnwstr because they merely copy wchstr 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 than wrapping it onto
     the next 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 waddwchnstr may be macros.
