addchstr, addchnstr, waddchstr, waddchnstr, mvaddchstr,
mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr - add a string of
characters (and attributes) to a curses window
#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);
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 per-
form any kind of checking (such as for the newline, back-
space, or carriage return characters), they do not advance
the current cursor position, they do not expand other con-
trol characters to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string
if it crosses the right margin, rather then wrapping it
around to the new line.
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 other-
wise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implemen-
tation returns an error if the window pointer is null.
Note that all routines except waddchnstr may be macros.
These entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4.
