<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       These functions copy the (null-terminated) <EM>chstr</EM> array in-
       to the window image structure starting at the current cur-
       sor position.  The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argu-
       ment 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  functions  work
       faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>.  On the other hand:

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   they do not perform checking (such as for the newline,
           backspace, or carriage return characters),

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   they do not advance the current cursor position,

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   they do not expand other control characters  to  ^-es-
           capes, and

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   they  truncate the string if it crosses the right mar-
           gin, rather than wrapping it around to the new line.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       All functions return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure  and  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
       on success.

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

       Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
       ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
       outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.


</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       All functions except <STRONG>waddchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These entry points are described in the XSI  Curses  stan-
       dard, Issue 4.
