70 These functions copy the (null-terminated) <I>chstr</I> array into the window
71 image structure starting at the current cursor position. The four
72 functions with <I>n</I> as the last argument copy at most <I>n</I> elements, but no
73 more than will fit on the line. If <B>n</B>=<B>-1</B> then the whole array is
74 copied, to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.
76 The window cursor is <I>not</I> advanced. These functions work faster than
77 <B>waddnstr</B>. On the other hand:
79 <B>o</B> they do not perform checking (such as for the newline, backspace,
80 or carriage return characters),
82 <B>o</B> they do not advance the current cursor position,
84 <B>o</B> they do not expand other control characters to ^-escapes, and
86 <B>o</B> they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin, rather
87 than wrapping it around to the new line.
90 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
91 All functions return the integer <B>ERR</B> upon failure and <B>OK</B> on success.
93 X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implementation re-
94 turns an error if the window pointer is null.
96 Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
97 <B>wmove</B>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
98 the window pointer is null.

102 All functions except <B>waddchnstr</B> may be macros.
