- These functions write the characters of the (null-terminated) <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>
- character string <EM>wstr</EM> on the given window. It is similar to
- constructing a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> for each <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> in the string, then calling
- <STRONG><A HREF="curs_add_wch.3x.html">wadd_wch(3x)</A></STRONG> for the resulting <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>:
+ <STRONG>waddwstr</STRONG> writes the characters of the (wide-null-terminated) wide-
+ character string <EM>wstr</EM> to the window <EM>win</EM>. Its process is similar to
+ constructing a <EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM> for each <EM>wchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM> in <EM>wstr</EM>, then calling
+ <STRONG><A HREF="curs_add_wch.3x.html">wadd_wch(3x)</A></STRONG> with the resulting <EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>.
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> spacing and non-spacing characters in the string are processed one

+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> control characters are processed as in <STRONG><A HREF="curs_add_wch.3x.html">wadd_wch(3x)</A></STRONG>.
- The <EM>mv</EM> functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any
- characters. Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of
- writing to the window.
+ <STRONG>waddnwstr</STRONG> writes at most <EM>n</EM> wide characters, or until a terminating wide
+ null character occurs in <EM>wstr</EM>. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, <STRONG>waddnwstr</STRONG> writes the entire
+ wide string.
- The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument write at most <EM>n</EM> <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>
- characters, or until a terminating null is reached. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then
- the entire string will be added.

- All functions return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success.

- X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implementation

- <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the string pointer is null or
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the string pointer is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>, or
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the corresponding calls to <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG> return an error.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> if an internal <STRONG><A HREF="curs_add_wch.3x.html">wadd_wch(3x)</A></STRONG> call returns 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.
+ Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if
