curs_addchstr(3)
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.
