curs_addstr(3)
NAME
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(const char *str); int addnstr(const char *str, int n); int waddstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str); int waddnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n); int mvaddstr(int y, int x, const char *str); int mvaddnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n); int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str); int mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated) character string str on the given window. It 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 -1, then the entire
string will be added, up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line, or until a terminating
null is reached.
RETURN VALUE
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.
NOTES
Note that all of these routines except waddstr and
waddnstr may be macros.
PORTABILITY
All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses
standard, Issue 4. The XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW,
associated with extended-level conformance, are not yet
detected.
