NAME
       curs_addchstr,  addchstr, addchnstr, waddchstr, waddchnstr, mvaddchstr,
       mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr - Add 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 );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       addchstr, waddchstr, mvaddchstr,	 mvwaddchstr,  addchnstr,  waddchnstr,
       mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchnstr:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer  to  the  standards(5)  reference page for more information about
       industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
       All of these routines copy chstr directly into the window image	struc‐
       ture  starting  at  the	current or specified 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 all the routines copy the
       whole string, up to the maximum number that fit on the line or until  a
       null terminator is reached.

       The  routines  do  not  advance the position of the window cursor. They
       work faster than waddnstr because they merely copy chstr into the  win‐
       dow  image  structure. On the other hand, care must be taken when using
       these functions because they: Do not perform any kind of checking (such
       as  for	the newline character) Do not advance the current cursor posi‐
       tion Truncate the string, rather then wrapping it around to a new line

NOTES
       The header file	<curses.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <stdio.h>.

       Note that all routines except waddchstr and waddchnstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful
       completion.
