-The window cursor is \fInot\fR advanced, and these routines work faster than
-\fBwaddnstr\fR. On the other hand, they do not perform any kind of checking
-(such as for the newline, backspace, or carriage return characters), they do not
-advance the current cursor position, they do not expand other control characters
-to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin,
-rather then wrapping it around to the new line.
-.SH RETURN VALUES
-All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success
-(the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
-successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine
-descriptions.
