 .SH DESCRIPTION
 These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated) character string
-\fIstr\fR on the given window.  It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for
-each character in the string.  The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last
-argument write at most \fIn\fR characters.  If \fIn\fR is -1, then the
-entire string will be added.
+\fIstr\fR on the given window.
+It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for each character in the string.
+The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
+write at most \fIn\fR characters.
+If \fIn\fR is -1, then the entire string will be added,
+up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line,
+or until a terminating null is reached.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
 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.
+.PP
+X/Open does not define any error conditions.
+This implementation returns an error
+if the window pointer is null or
+if the string pointer is null or
+if the corresponding calls to \fBwaddch\fP return an error.
 .SH NOTES
 Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwaddnstr\fR may be
 macros.
