NAME
curs_addchstr: addchstr, addchnstr, waddchstr, waddchnstr,
mvaddchstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr - add
string of characters (and attributes) to a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
#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 work 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 Values
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.
