NAME
       curs_addwchstr,	addwchstr,  addwchnstr,  waddwchstr,  waddwchnstr,  mvaddwchstr, mvaddwchnstr, mvwaddwchstr, mvwaddwchnstr - add string of
       wchar_t characters (and attributes) to a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       cc  [flag]... file... -lcurses [library]...

       #include<curses.h>

       int addwchstr(chtype *wchstr);

       int addwchnstr(chtype *wchstr, int n);

       int waddwchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr);

       int waddwchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr, int n);

       int mvaddwchstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);

       int mvaddwchnstr(int y,	int x, chtype *wchstr, int n);

       int mvwaddwchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x,  chtype *wchstr);

       int mvwaddwchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x , chtype *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       All of these routines copy wchstr, which points to a string of wchar_t characters, directly into the window image structure starting at the
       current	cursor position. The four routines 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 string is copied, to the maximum number that fit on the line.

       The position of the window cursor is not advanced. These routines work faster than  waddnwstr(3CURSES) because they merely copy wchstr into
       the  window image structure. On the other hand, care must be taken when using these functions because they don't perform any kind of check-
       ing (such as for the newline character), they do not advance the current cursor position, and they truncate the string, rather  than  wrap-
       ping it around to the new line.

RETURN VALUE
       All  routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in
       the preceding routine descriptions.

ATTRIBUTES

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h> and <widec.h>.

       Note that all routines except  waddwchnstr() may be macros.

       None of these routines can use the color attribute in chtype.
