curs_addstr(3) UNIX Programmer's Manual curs_addstr(3)NAME
addstr, addnstr, waddstr, waddnstr, mvaddstr, mvaddnstr,
mvwaddstr, mvwaddnstr - add a string of characters to a
curses window and advance cursor
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int addstr(const char *str);
int addnstr(const char *str, int n);
int waddstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);
int waddnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);
int mvaddstr(int y, int x, const char *str);
int mvaddnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);
int mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated)
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 ad-
ded, up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on
the line, or until a terminating null is reached.
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.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implemen-
tation returns an error if the window pointer is null or if
the string pointer is null or if the corresponding calls to
waddch return an error.
NOTES
Note that all of these routines except waddstr and waddnstr
may be macros.
PORTABILITY
All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses stan-
dard, Issue 4. The XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW, associ-
ated with extended-level conformance, are not yet detected.
