.SH SYNOPSIS
It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for each character in the string.
The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
write at most \fIn\fR characters.
-If \fIn\fR is -1, then the entire string will be added,
+If \fIn\fR is \-1, then the entire string will be added,
up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line,
or until a terminating null is reached.
.SH RETURN VALUE
if the window pointer is null or
if the string pointer is null or
if the corresponding calls to \fBwaddch\fP return an error.
+.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.
.SH NOTES
Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwaddnstr\fR may be
macros.
