 .SH DESCRIPTION

+These functions write the characters of the
 (null-terminated) \fBwchar_t\fR character string
 \fIwstr\fR on the given window.
 It is similar to constructing a \fBcchar_t\fR for each wchar_t in the string,
 then calling \fBwadd_wch\fR for the resulting \fBcchar_t\fR.
 .PP

+The \fImv\fR functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any
 characters.
 Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing to the window.
 .PP
-The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
-write at most \fIn\fR \fBwchar_t\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,
+The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument
+write at most \fIn\fR \fBwchar_t\fR characters,
 or until a terminating null is reached.
-.SH RETURN VALUES
-All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success.
+If \fIn\fR is \-1, then the entire string will be added.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All functions return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success.

+X/Open does not define any error conditions.

+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.
