- These routines write the characters of the (null-termi-
- nated) character string <I>str</I> on the given window. It is
- similar to calling <B>waddch</B> once for each character in the
- string. The four routines with <I>n</I> as the last argument
- write at most <I>n</I> characters. If <I>n</I> is -1, then the entire
- string will be added.

-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- All routines return the integer <B>ERR</B> upon failure and <B>OK</B> on
- success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
- other than <B>ERR</B>") upon successful completion.
+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+ These functions write the (null-terminated) character string <EM>str</EM> on the
+ given window. It is similar to calling <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for each character
+ in the string.
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- Note that all of these routines except <B>waddstr</B> and
- <B>waddnstr</B> may be macros.
+ The <EM>mv</EM> functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any char-
+ acters. Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing
+ to the window.
+ The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument write at most <EM>n</EM> charac-
+ ters, or until a terminating null is reached. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then the en-
+ tire string will be added.

-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses
- standard, Issue 4. The XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW,
- associated with extended-level conformance, are not yet
- detected.

+ X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implementation re-
+ turns an error
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the window pointer is null or
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the string pointer is null or
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the corresponding calls to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> return an error.
+ Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
+ <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
+ the window pointer is null.
