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 don’t perform any kind of checking
       (such as for the newline, backspace, or carriage	 return	 characters),
       they  don’t  advance  the  current  cursor position, they don’t expand
       other control characters to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if
       it crosses the right margin, rather then wrapping it around to the new
       line.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure	 and  OK  on  success
       (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than ERR") upon
       successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine
       descriptions.

NOTES
       Note that all routines except waddchnstr may be macros.

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