addstr(3cur) addstr(3cur) Name addstr, waddstr, mvaddstr, mvwaddstr - add string to window Syntax #include <cursesX.h> int addstr(str) char *str; int waddstr(win, str) WINDOW *win; char *str; int mvaddstr(y, x, str) int y, x; char *str; int mvwaddstr(win, y, x, str) WINDOW *win; int y, x; char *str; Description The routine writes all the characters of the null-terminated character string on the default window at the current (y, x) coordinates. The routine writes all the characters of the null terminated character string on the specified window at the current (y, x) coordinates. The routine writes all the characters of the null terminated character string on the default window at the specified (y, x) coordinates. The routine writes all the characters of the null terminated character string on the specified window at the specified (y, x) coordinates. The following information applies to all the routines. All the routines return if writing the string causes illegal scrolling. In this case the routine will write as much as possible of the string on the window. These routines are functionally equivalent to calling or once for each character in the string. The routines and are macros. Return Values The and functions return OK on success and ERR on error.

addstr(3NCURSES) addstr(3NCURSES) 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 en- tire string will be added, 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 implementation 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 standard, Issue 4. The XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW, associated with extended- level conformance, are not yet detected. SEE ALSO
