addchstr(3NCURSES) addchstr(3NCURSES)
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 characters to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if it
crosses the right margin, rather than wrapping it around to the new line.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success (the SVr4 manuals spec-
ify 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.
