DESCRIPTION

        These functions write the (null-terminated) character string str on the
-       given window.  It is similar to calling waddch once for each  character
-       in the string.
+       given window.  It is similar to calling waddch once for  each  byte  in
+       the string.
 
        The mv functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any char-
        acters.  Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing
        to the window.
 
-       The  four functions with n as the last argument write at most n charac-
-       ters, or until a terminating null is reached.  If n is -1, then the en-
-       tire string will be added.

RETURN VALUE

@@ -92,7 +94,15 @@
 
        Functions with a "mv" prefix first  perform  a  cursor  movement  using
        wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
-       the window pointer is null.
+       the window pointer is null.  If an error is returned by the  wmove,  no
+       characters are added to the window.
+
+       If  an  error  is  returned  by waddch (e.g., because the window is not
+       large enough, or an illegal byte sequence was detected)  only  part  of
+       the  string  may be added.  Aside from that, there is a special case in
+       waddch where an error may be  returned  after  successfully  writing  a

+       abled.
