curs_addstr(3X)curs_addstr(3X)NAME
curs_addstr: 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(char *str);
int addnstr(char *str, int n);
int waddstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
int waddnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
int mvaddstr(y, int x, char *str);
int mvaddnstr(y, int x, char *str, int n);
int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
int mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str,
int n);
DESCRIPTION
All of these routines write all the characters of the null-terminated
character string str on the given window. The effect 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
negative, then the entire string will be added.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
<stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
Note that all of these routines except waddstr and waddnstr may be
macros.
