curs_addchstr(3X)                                                                          curs_addchstr(3X)



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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int addchstr(const chtype *chstr);
       int addchnstr(const chtype *chstr, int n);
       int waddchstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr);
       int waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr, int n);
       int mvaddchstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr);
       int mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);
       int mvwaddchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr);
       int mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines copy chstr into the window image structure at and after 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 of characters that will fit
       on the line.

       The  window cursor is not advanced, and these routines work faster than waddnstr.  On the other hand,
       they do not perform any kind of checking (such as for the  newline,  backspace,  or  carriage  return
       characters),  they do not advance the current cursor position, they do not expand other control char-acters characters
       acters to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin, rather  than  wrap-ping wrapping
       ping it around to the new line.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an
       integer value other than ERR") upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted  in  the  preceding
       routine descriptions.

       X/Open  does  not  define  any  error conditions.  This implementation returns an error if the window
       pointer is null.

NOTES
       Note that all routines except waddchnstr may be macros.

PORTABILITY
       These entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
