  66 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  67        These  routines  write  the characters of the (null-termi-
  68        nated) character string <EM>str</EM> on the given  window.   It  is
  69        similar  to  calling <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for each character in the
  70        string.  The four routines with <EM>n</EM>  as  the  last  argument
  71        write  at  most <EM>n</EM> characters.  If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then the entire
  72        string will be added, up to the maximum number of  charac-
  73        ters  that  will  fit  on the line, or until a terminating
  74        null is reached.
  75
  76
  77 </PRE>
  78 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
  79        All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
  80        success  (the  SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
  81        other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
  82
  83
  84 </PRE>
  85 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
  86        Note  that  all  of  these  routines  except  <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG>  and
  87        <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> may be macros.

  91 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
  92        All  these  entry  points  are described in the XSI Curses
  93        standard, Issue 4.  The XSI errors EILSEQ  and  EOVERFLOW,
  94        associated  with  extended-level  conformance, are not yet
  95        detected.
