| <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> writes the characters of the (null-terminated) string <EM>str</EM> to |
| the window <EM>win</EM>. Its process is similar to calling <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">waddch(3x)</A></STRONG> for each |
| <EM>char</EM> in <EM>str</EM>. Control characters are processed as in <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">waddch(3x)</A></STRONG>. |
| |
| <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> writes at most <EM>n</EM> characters, or until a terminating null |
| character occurs in <EM>str</EM>. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> writes the entire |
| string. |
| |
| <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> describes the variants of these functions. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| These functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success and <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure. |
| |
| X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions. <EM>ncurses</EM> returns |
| an error |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the window pointer is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>, |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if the string pointer is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>, or |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if an internal <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">waddch(3x)</A></STRONG> call returns an error. |
| |
| Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if |
| the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries. |
