-</PRE>
-<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.
+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> writes the characters of the (null-terminated) string <EM>str</EM> to
+ the window <EM>win</EM>. Its process is similar to calling <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">waddch(3x)</A></STRONG> for each
+ <EM>char</EM> in <EM>str</EM>. Control characters are processed as in <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">waddch(3x)</A></STRONG>.
-</PRE>
-<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.
+ <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> writes at most <EM>n</EM> characters, or until a terminating null
+ character occurs in <EM>str</EM>. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> writes the entire
+ string.
- 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.
+ <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> describes the variants of these functions.
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- Note that all of these routines except <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> and
- <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
