91 \fB\%ncurses\fP(3X) describes the variants of these functions.
93 Because these functions do not call \fB\%waddch\fP(3X) internally,
94 they are faster than \fB\%waddstr\fP(3X) and \fB\%waddnstr\fP(3X).
98 do not treat the backspace,
100 or line feed characters specially;
102 do not represent unprintable characters with \fB\%unctrl\fP(3X);
104 do not update the cursor position to follow the last character written;
106 truncate the string at the window's right margin,
107 rather than wrapping it to the next line and potentially scrolling.
109 These functions return
115 X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions.
130 Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
