65 These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated) character string
66 \fIstr\fR on the given window.
67 It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for each character in the string.
68 The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
69 write at most \fIn\fR characters.
70 If \fIn\fR is \-1, then the entire string will be added,
71 up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line,
72 or until a terminating null is reached.
74 All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success
75 (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
76 successful completion.
78 X/Open does not define any error conditions.
79 This implementation returns an error
80 if the window pointer is null or
81 if the string pointer is null or
82 if the corresponding calls to \fBwaddch\fP return an error.
84 Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
85 \fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
86 or if the window pointer is null.
88 Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwaddnstr\fR may be
91 All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The
92 XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW, associated with extended-level conformance,
