71 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
72        These routines copy the array of complex characters <EM>wchstr</EM>
73        into  the  window image structure at and after the current
74        cursor position.  The four routines with  <EM>n</EM>  as  the  last
75        argument  copy  at  most <EM>n</EM> elements, but no more than will
76        fit on the line.  If <STRONG>n</STRONG>=<STRONG>-1</STRONG> then the whole array is  copied,
77        to  the  maximum number of characters that will fit on the
78        line.
79
80        The window cursor is <EM>not</EM> advanced.   These  routines  work
81        faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>.  On the other hand, they do not per-
82        form checking (such as for the newline, backspace, or car-
83        riage  return characters), they do not advance the current
84        cursor position, they do not expand other control  charac-
85        ters  to  ^-escapes,  and  they  truncate the string if it
86        crosses the right margin, rather than wrapping  it  around
87        to the new line.
88
89        These  routines  end  successfully  on encountering a null
90        <EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>, or when they have filled the current line.  If  a
91        complex  character cannot completely fit at the end of the
92        current line, the remaining columns are  filled  with  the
93        background character and rendition.

102 <H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
103        All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
104        success.
