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  functions copy the (null-terminated) chstr array into the window
       image structure starting at the	current	 cursor	 position.   The  four
       functions  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  array  is
       copied, to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.

       The  window  cursor  is not advanced.  These functions work faster than
       waddnstr.  On the other hand:

       ·   they do not perform 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 VALUE
       All functions return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success.

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

       Functions  with	a  "mv"	 prefix	 first perform a cursor movement using
       wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
       the window pointer is null.

NOTES
       All functions except waddchnstr may be macros.

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

SEE ALSO
       curs_addstr(3X), curses(3X).

       Comparable  functions  in the wide-character (ncursesw) library are de‐
       scribed in curs_add_wchstr(3X).
