  70 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  71        These routines write the characters of the (null-terminat-
  72        ed) character string <EM>str</EM> on the given window.  It is simi-
  73        lar  to  calling  <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>  once  for  each character in the
  74        string.  The four routines with <EM>n</EM>  as  the  last  argument
  75        write  at  most <EM>n</EM> characters.  If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then the entire
  76        string will be added, up to the maximum number of  charac-
  77        ters  that  will  fit  on the line, or until a terminating
  78        null is reached.
  79
  80
  81 </PRE>
  82 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
  83        All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
  84        success  (the  SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
  85        other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
  86
  87        X/Open does not define any error conditions.  This  imple-
  88        mentation  returns  an error if the window pointer is null
  89        or if the string pointer is null or if  the  corresponding
  90        calls to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> return an error.
  91
  92        Functions  with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
  93        ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the  position  is
  94        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
  95
  96
  97 </PRE>
  98 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
  99        Note  that  all  of  these  routines  except  <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG>  and
 100        <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> may be macros.

 103 </PRE>
 104 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
 105        All these entry points are described  in  the  XSI  Curses
 106        standard,  Issue  4.  The XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW,
 107        associated with extended-level conformance,  are  not  yet
 108        detected.
