curs_addstr(3X)         LIBRARY FUNCTIONS         curs_addstr(3X)



NAME
     cursaddstr:  addstr, addnstr, waddstr, waddnstr,  mvaddstr,
     mvaddnstr,  mvwaddstr,  mvwaddnstr - add a string of charac-
     ters 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.
