curs_addchstr(3X)                 SDK R4.11                curs_addchstr(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 descriptions.

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.
