.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions copy the (null-terminated)
-array of complex characters \fIwchstr\fR
+array of complex characters \fIwchstr\fP
into the window image structure
starting at the current cursor position.
-The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last
-argument copy at most \fIn\fR elements,
+.PP
+The four functions with \fIn\fP as the last
+argument copy at most \fIn\fP elements,
but no more than will fit on the line.
-If \fBn\fR=\fB\-1\fR then the whole array is copied,
+If \fBn\fP=\fB\-1\fP then the whole array is copied,
to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.
.PP
-The window cursor is \fInot\fR advanced.
-These functions work faster than \fBwaddnstr\fR.
+The window cursor is \fInot\fP advanced.
+These functions are faster than \fBwaddnstr\fP.
On the other hand:
.bP
they do not perform checking
rather than wrapping it around to the new line.
.PP
These functions end successfully
-on encountering a null \fIcchar_t\fR, or
+on encountering a null \fBcchar_t\fP, or
when they have filled the current line.
If a complex character cannot completely fit at the end of the current line,
the remaining columns are filled with the background character and rendition.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-All functions return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success.
+All functions return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and \fBOK\fP on success.
.PP
-X/Open does not define any error conditions.
+X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions.
This implementation returns an error
-if the window pointer is null.
+.bP
+if the \fIwin\fP parameter is null or
+.bP
+if the \fIwchstr\fP parameter is null.
.PP
-Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using
-\fBwmove\fP, 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 the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
.SH NOTES
-All functions except \fBwadd_wchnstr\fR may be macros.
