addnstr(3XCURSES)	X/Open Curses Library Functions	     addnstr(3XCURSES)

NAME
       addnstr,	 addstr, mvaddnstr, mvaddstr, mvwaddnstr, mvwaddstr, waddnstr,
       waddstr - add a multi-byte character string (without  rendition)	 to  a
       window

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library ... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int addnstr(const char *str, int n);

       int addstr(const char *str);

       int mvaddnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);

       int mvaddstr(int y, int x, const char *str);

       int mvwaddnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);

       int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);

       int waddstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);

       int waddnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  addstr()  function	writes	a null-terminated string of multi-byte
       characters to the stdscr window at the  current	cursor	position.  The
       waddstr()  function performs an identical action, but writes the	 char‐
       acter to the window specified by win.  The mvaddstr()  and  mvwaddstr()
       functions write the string to the  position indicated by the x (column)
       and y (row) parameters (the  former to the stdscr window; the latter to
       window win).

       The addnstr(), waddnstr(), mvaddnstr(), and  mvwaddnstr() functions are
       similar but write at most n characters  to the window.  If  n  is  less
       than 0, the entire string is written.

       All of these functions advance the cursor after writing the string.

       These  functions are functionally equivalent to calling the correspond‐
       ing  function from the addch(3XCURSES) set of functions once  for  each
       character in  the string.  Refer to the
	curses(3XCURSES) man page for a complete description of	 special char‐
       acter handling and of the interaction between the window rendition  (or
       background character and rendition) and the character written.

       Note  that  these functions differ from the addchstr() set of functions
       in that the addchstr(3XCURSES) functions copy the string as is (without
       combining  each	character  with the window rendition or the background
       character  and rendition.

PARAMETERS
       str	Is a pointer to the character string that is to be written  to
		the window.

       n	Is  the maximum number of characters to be copied from str. If
		n is less than 0, the entire string is written or as  much  of
		it as fits on the line.

       y	Is  the	 y (row) coordinate of the starting position of str in
		the window.

       x	Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position  of  str
		in  the window.

       win	Is  a pointer to the window in which the string is to be writ‐
		ten.

RETURN VALUES
       On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
