.SH DESCRIPTION
-These routines copy \fIchstr\fR into the window image structure at and after
-the current cursor position. The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last
-argument copy at most \fIn\fR elements, but no more than will fit on the line.
-If \fBn\fR=\fB\-1\fR then the whole string is copied, to the maximum number of
-characters that will fit on the line.
+These functions copy the (null-terminated)
+\fIchstr\fP array
+into the window image structure
+starting at the current cursor position.

-The window cursor is \fInot\fR advanced, and these routines work faster than
-\fBwaddnstr\fR. On the other hand, they do not perform any kind of checking
-(such as for the newline, backspace, or carriage return characters), they do not
-advance the current cursor position, they do not expand other control characters
-to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin,

-.SH RETURN VALUES
-All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success
-(the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
-successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine
-descriptions.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All functions return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and \fBOK\fP on success.
.PP
-X/Open does not define any error conditions.
+X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions.
This implementation returns an error
-if the window pointer is null.
+.bP
+if the \fIwin\fP parameter is null or
+.bP
+if the \fIwchstr\fP parameter is null.
.PP
-Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
-\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
-or if the window pointer is null.
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
