ENHANCED CURSES

NAME

addchnstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchnstr, waddchnstr — add length limited string of single-byte characters and renditions to a window

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int addchnstr(chtype *const chstr, int n);

int mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *const chstr, int n);

int mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *const chstr,
                 int n);

int waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *const chstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION

These functions overlay the contents of the current or specified window, starting at the current or specified position, with the contents of the array pointed to by chstr until a null chtype is encountered in the array pointed to by chstr . 

These functions do not change the cursor position.  These functions do not perform special-character processing.  These functions do not perform wrapping. 

These functions copy at most n items, but no more than will fit on the line.  If n is −1 then the whole string is copied, to the maximum number that fit on the line. 

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they return ERR. 

ERRORS

No errors are defined. 

APPLICATION USAGE

These functions are only guaranteed to operate reliably on character sets in which each character fits into a single byte, whose attributes can be expressed using only constants with the A_ prefix.
