DESCRIPTION

-       These  routines  write  the characters of the (null-termi-
-       nated) character string str on the given  window.   It  is
-       similar  to  calling waddch once for each character in the
-       string.  The four routines with n  as  the  last  argument
-       write  at  most n characters.  If n is -1, then the entire
-       string will be added, up to the maximum number of  charac-
-       ters  that  will  fit  on the line, or until a terminating
-       null is reached.
+       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.
+
+       The  mv  functions  perform  cursor  movement once, before
+       writing any characters.  Thereafter,  the  cursor  is  ad-
+       vanced as a side-effect of writing to the window.
+
+       The  four  functions  with n as the last argument write at
+       most n characters, or until a terminating null is reached.
+       If n is -1, then the entire string will be added.

RETURN VALUE

-       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on
-       success  (the  SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
-       other than ERR") upon successful completion.
+       All  functions  return the integer ERR upon failure and OK
+       on success.
+
+       X/Open does not define any error conditions.  This  imple-
+       mentation returns an error
+
+       o   if the window pointer is null or
+
+       o   if the string pointer is null or
+
+       o   if the corresponding calls to waddch return an error.
+
+       Functions  with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
+       ment using wmove, and return an error if the  position  is
+       outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

NOTES

-       Note  that  all  of  these  routines  except  waddstr  and
-       waddnstr may be macros.
+       All of these functions except waddnstr may be macros.

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.
