<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
These routines copy the array of complex characters <EM>wchstr</EM>
into the window image structure at and after the current
cursor position. The four routines with <EM>n</EM> as the last
argument copy at most <EM>n</EM> elements, but no more than will
fit on the line. If <STRONG>n</STRONG>=<STRONG>-1</STRONG> then the whole array is copied,
to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the
line.
The window cursor is <EM>not</EM> advanced. These routines work
faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>. On the other hand, they do not per-
form checking (such as for the newline, backspace, or car-
riage return characters), they do not advance the current
cursor position, they do not expand other control charac-
ters to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if it
crosses the right margin, rather than wrapping it around
to the new line.
These routines end successfully on encountering a null
<EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>, or when they have filled the current line. If a
complex character cannot completely fit at the end of the
current line, the remaining columns are filled with the
background character and rendition.
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
All functions except <STRONG>wadd_wchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
success.
</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses
standard, Issue 4.
