NAME
curs_addwchstr: addwchstr, addwchnstr, waddwchstr,
waddwchnstr, mvaddwchstr, mvaddwchnstr, mvwaddwchstr,
mvwaddwchnstr - add string of wchar_t characters (and
attributes) to a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
#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 a string of
wchar_t characters, 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 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 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.
