</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
These functions copy the (null-terminated) array of complex characters
<EM>wchstr</EM> into the window image structure starting at the current cursor
position.
The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument 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 are 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 ^-escapes, and
<STRONG>o</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>, 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.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
All functions return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success.
X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions. This
implementation returns an error
<STRONG>o</STRONG> if the <EM>win</EM> parameter is null or
<STRONG>o</STRONG> if the <EM>wchstr</EM> parameter is null.
Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if
the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
All functions except <STRONG>wadd_wchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
