STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       addchstr, waddchstr, mvaddchstr, mvwaddchstr, addchnstr, waddchnstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchnstr:	XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
       All of these routines copy chstr directly into the window image structure starting at the current or specified 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 all the routines copy
       the whole string, up to the maximum number that fit on the line or until a null terminator is reached.

       The routines do not advance the position of the window cursor. They work faster than waddnstr because they merely copy chstr into the  win-
       dow  image  structure.  On  the other hand, care must be taken when using these functions because they: Do not perform any kind of checking
       (such as for the newline character) Do not advance the current cursor position Truncate the string, rather then wrapping it around to a new
       line

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

       Note that all routines except waddchstr and waddchnstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful completion.
