-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- These routines write the characters of the (null-terminat-
- ed) character string <EM>str</EM> on the given window. It is simi-
- lar to calling <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for each character in the
- string. The four routines with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument
- write at most <EM>n</EM> characters. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then the entire
- string will be added, up to the maximum number of charac-
- ters that will fit on the line, or until a terminating
- null is reached.

+ These functions write the (null-terminated) character
+ string <EM>str</EM> on the given window. It is similar to calling
+ <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for each character in the string.
+ The <EM>mv</EM> functions perform cursor movement once, before
+ writing any characters. Thereafter, the cursor is ad-
+ vanced as a side-effect of writing to the window.

-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
- success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
- other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.

X/Open does not define any error conditions. This imple-
- mentation returns an error if the window pointer is null
- or if the string pointer is null or if the corresponding
- calls to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> return an error.

- 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.
+ Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
+ ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
+ outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
