curs_addwchstr(3)
NAME
  curs_addwchstr, addwchstr, addwchnstr, waddwchstr, waddwchnstr,
  mvaddwchstr, mvaddwchnstr, mvwaddwchstr, mvwaddwchnstr - Add a string of
  wchar_t characters (and attributes) to a Curses window

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so)

SYNOPSIS
  #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 or specified 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 all the routines copy the whole string, to the maximum number
  that fit on the line or until a null terminator is reached.

  The routines do not advance the position of the window cursor.  They 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:

    ·  Do not perform any kind of checking (such as for the newline
       character)

    ·  Do not advance the current cursor position

    ·  Truncate the string, rather then wrapping it around to the new line

NOTES
  The header file curses.h automatically includes the header file stdio.h.

  Note that all routines except waddwchnstr may be macros.

  The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses
  functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specification.
  MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons. For
  new applications, Digital recommends the use of the routines described on
  the add_wchstr(3) reference page.

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.
