       add_wchstr, add_wchnstr, wadd_wchstr, wadd_wchnstr, mvadd_wchstr, mvadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchstr,
       mvwadd_wchnstr - add an array of complex characters (and attributes) to a curses window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int add_wchstr(const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int add_wchnstr(const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int wadd_wchstr(WINDOW * win, const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int wadd_wchnstr(WINDOW * win, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int mvadd_wchstr(int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int mvadd_wchnstr(int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int mvwadd_wchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int mvwadd_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions copy the (null-terminated) array of complex  characters  wchstr  into  the  window  image
       structure  starting  at the current cursor position.  The four functions with n as the last argument copy
       at most n elements, but no more than will fit on the line.  If n=-1 then the whole array  is  copied,  to
       the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.

       The window cursor is not advanced.  These functions work faster than waddnstr.  On the other hand:

       •   they do not perform checking (such as for the newline, backspace, or carriage return characters),

       •   they do not advance the current cursor position,

       •   they do not expand other control characters to ^-escapes, and

       •   they  truncate  the  string if it crosses the right margin, rather than wrapping it around to the new
           line.

       These functions end successfully on encountering a null cchar_t, 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.

RETURN VALUE

       All functions return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success.

       X/Open does not define any error conditions.  This implementation returns an error if the window  pointer
       is null.

       Functions  with  a  "mv"  prefix  first perform a cursor movement using wmove, and return an error if the
       position is outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

NOTES

       All functions except wadd_wchnstr may be macros.

PORTABILITY

       These entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
