71 These functions copy the (null-terminated) <EM>chstr</EM> array in-
72 to the window image structure starting at the current cur-
73 sor position. The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argu-
74 ment copy at most <EM>n</EM> elements, but no more than will fit on
75 the line. If <STRONG>n</STRONG>=<STRONG>-1</STRONG> then the whole array is copied, to the
76 maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.
78 The window cursor is <EM>not</EM> advanced. These functions work
79 faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>. On the other hand:
81 <STRONG>o</STRONG> they do not perform checking (such as for the newline,
82 backspace, or carriage return characters),
84 <STRONG>o</STRONG> they do not advance the current cursor position,
86 <STRONG>o</STRONG> they do not expand other control characters to ^-es-
87 capes, and
89 <STRONG>o</STRONG> they truncate the string if it crosses the right mar-
90 gin, rather than wrapping it around to the new line.
93 </PRE>
94 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
95 All functions return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
96 on success.
98 X/Open does not define any error conditions. This imple-
99 mentation returns an error if the window pointer is null.
101 Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
102 ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
103 outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

108 All functions except <STRONG>waddchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
