72 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
73 These routines copy <EM>chstr</EM> into the window image structure
74 at and after the current cursor position. The four rou-
75 tines with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument copy at most <EM>n</EM> elements,
76 but no more than will fit on the line. If <STRONG>n</STRONG>=<STRONG>-1</STRONG> then the
77 whole string is copied, to the maximum number of charac-
78 ters that will fit on the line.
80 The window cursor is <EM>not</EM> advanced, and these routines work
81 faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>. On the other hand, they do not per-
82 form any kind of checking (such as for the newline,
83 backspace, or carriage return characters), they do not ad-
84 vance the current cursor position, they do not expand oth-
85 er control characters to ^-escapes, and they truncate the
86 string if it crosses the right margin, rather than wrap-
87 ping it around to the new line.
91 <H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
92 All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
93 success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
94 other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion, unless other-
95 wise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
97 X/Open does not define any error conditions. This imple-
98 mentation returns an error if the window pointer is null.
100 Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
101 ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
102 outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
107 Note that all routines except <STRONG>waddchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
