NAME
addstr, addnstr, waddstr, waddnstr, mvaddstr, mvaddnstr, mvwaddstr, mvwaddnstr - add a
string of characters to a curses window and advance cursor
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int addstr(const char *str);
int addnstr(const char *str, int n);
int waddstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);
int waddnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);
int mvaddstr(int y, int x, const char *str);
int mvaddnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);
int mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated) character string str on the
given window. It is similar to calling waddch once for each character in the string. The
four routines with n as the last argument write at most n characters. If n is -1, then
the entire string will be added, up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on
the line, or until a terminating null is reached.
RETURN VALUE
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.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implementation returns an error if the
window pointer is null or if the string pointer is null or if the corresponding calls to
waddch return an error.
NOTES
Note that all of these routines except waddstr and waddnstr may be macros.
PORTABILITY
All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The XSI errors
EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW, associated with extended-level conformance, are not yet detected.
