NAME
curs_addwchstr: addwchstr, addwchnstr, waddwchstr,
waddwchnstr, mvaddwchstr, mvaddwchnstr, mvwaddwchstr,
mvwaddwchnstr - add string of wchar_t 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 the string
of wchar_t characters directly into the window image struc-
ture starting at the current cursor position. The four rou-
tines 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 works 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 then wrapping
it around to the new 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 descrip-
tions.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header
files <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
