curs_addchst(3X)                                 curs_addchst(3X)



NAME
     curs_addchstr:  addchstr, addchnstr, waddchstr, waddchnstr,
     mvaddchstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr - add
     string of characters (and attributes) to a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #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 works 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 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>.

     Note that all routines except waddchnstr may be macros.
