- These functions write the (null-terminated) character string <I>str</I> on the
- given window. It is similar to calling <B>waddch</B> once for each byte in
- the string.
+ <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>.
- The <I>mv</I> functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any char-
- acters. Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing
- to the window.
+ <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.
- The four functions with <I>n</I> as the last argument write at most <I>n</I> bytes,
- or until a terminating null is reached. If <I>n</I> is -1, then the entire
- string will be added.
+ <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> describes the variants of these functions.

- All functions return the integer <B>ERR</B> upon failure and <B>OK</B> on success.
-
- X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implementation re-
- turns an error
+ These functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success and <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure.
- <B>o</B> if the window pointer is null or
+ X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions. <EM>ncurses</EM> returns
+ an error
- <B>o</B> if the string pointer is null or
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the window pointer is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>,
- <B>o</B> if the corresponding calls to <B>waddch</B> return an error.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the string pointer is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>, or
- Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
- <B>wmove</B>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
- the window pointer is null. If an error is returned by the <B>wmove</B>, no
- characters are added to the window.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if an internal <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">waddch(3x)</A></STRONG> call returns an error.
- If an error is returned by <B>waddch</B> (e.g., because the window is not
- large enough, or an illegal byte sequence was detected) only part of
- the string may be added. Aside from that, there is a special case in
- <B>waddch</B> where an error may be returned after successfully writing a
- character to the lower-right corner of a window when <B>scrollok</B> is dis-
- abled.
+ Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if
+ the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.
