.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions copy the (null-terminated)
-\fIchstr\fR array
+\fIchstr\fP array
into the window image structure
starting at the current cursor position.
-The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last
-argument copy at most \fIn\fR elements,
+The four functions with \fIn\fP as the last
+argument copy at most \fIn\fP elements,
but no more than will fit on the line.
-If \fBn\fR=\fB\-1\fR then the whole array is copied,
+If \fBn\fP=\fB\-1\fP then the whole array is copied,
to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.
.PP
-The window cursor is \fInot\fR advanced.
-These functions work faster than \fBwaddnstr\fR.
+The window cursor is \fInot\fP advanced.
+These functions work faster than \fBwaddnstr\fP.
On the other hand:
.bP
they do not perform checking
they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin,
rather than wrapping it around to the new line.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-All functions return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success.
+All functions return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and \fBOK\fP on success.
.PP
X/Open does not define any error conditions.
This implementation returns an error
\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
or if the window pointer is null.
.SH NOTES
-All functions except \fBwaddchnstr\fR may be macros.
+All functions except \fBwaddchnstr\fP may be macros.
.SH PORTABILITY
These entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
