.TH curs_addstr 3X "" .SH NAME \fBaddstr\fR, \fBaddnstr\fR, \fBwaddstr\fR, \fBwaddnstr\fR, \fBmvaddstr\fR, \fBmvaddnstr\fR, \fBmvwaddstr\fR, \fBmvwaddnstr\fR - add a string of characters to a \fBcurses\fR window and advance cursor .SH SYNOPSIS \fB#include <curses.h>\fR \fBint addstr(const char *str);\fR .br \fBint addnstr(const char *str, int n);\fR .br \fBint waddstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);\fR .br \fBint waddnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);\fR .br \fBint mvaddstr(int y, int x, const char *str);\fR .br \fBint mvaddnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);\fR .br \fBint mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);\fR .br \fBint mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);\fR .SH DESCRIPTION These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated) character string \fIstr\fR on the given window. It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for each character in the string. The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument write at most \fIn\fR characters. If \fIn\fR is -1, then the entire string will be added. .SH RETURN VALUE All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion. .SH NOTES Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwaddnstr\fR may be macros. .SH 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. .SH SEE ALSO \fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_addch\fR(3X). .\"# .\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS .\"# Local Variables: .\"# mode:nroff .\"# fill-column:79 .\"# End:
