       curs_addwchstr(3curses)                      curs_addwchstr(3curses)


       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.
