.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,
-up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line,
-or until a terminating null is reached.
+.B waddstr
+writes the characters of the (null-terminated) string
+.I str
+to the window
+.IR win .
+Its process is similar to calling \fB\%waddch\fP(3X) for each
+.I char
+in
+.IR str .
+Control characters are processed as in \fB\%waddch\fP(3X).
+.PP
+.B waddnstr
+writes at most
+.I n
+characters,
+or until a terminating null character occurs in
+.IR str .
+If
+.I n
+is \-1,
+.B
+.B waddnstr
+writes the entire string.
+.PP
+\fB\%ncurses\fP(3X) describes the variants of these functions.
.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.
+These functions return
+.B OK
+on success and
+.B ERR
+on failure.
.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.
+X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions.
+.I \%ncurses
+returns an error
+.bP
+if the window pointer is
+.BR NULL ,
+.bP
+if the string pointer is
+.BR NULL ,
+or
+.bP
+if an internal \fB\%waddch\fP(3X) call returns an error.
+.PP
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
.SH NOTES
-Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwaddnstr\fR may be
-macros.
+All of these functions except \fBwaddnstr\fP may be macros.
.SH PORTABILITY
-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 Curses,
+Issue 4 describes these functions.
