curs_addwchstr(3X)curs_addwchstr(3X)NAME
curs_addwchstr: addwchstr, addwchnstr, waddwchstr, waddwchnstr,
mvaddwchstr, mvaddwchnstr, mvwaddwchstr, mvwaddwchnstr - add string of
wchar_t characters (and attributes) to a curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int addwchstr(chtype *wchstr);
int addwchnstr(chtype *wchstr, int n);
int waddwchstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr);
int waddwchnstr(WINDOW *win, chtype *wchstr, int n);
int mvaddwchstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);
int mvaddwchnstr(int y, int x, chtype *wchstr, int n);
int mvwaddwchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *wchstr);
int mvwaddwchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype *wchstr, int n);
DESCRIPTION
All of these routines copy wchstr, which points to a string of wchar_t
characters, directly into the window image structure starting at the
current 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 the whole string is copied, to the maximum number that fit on the
line.
The position of the window cursor is not advanced. These routines work
faster than waddnwstr because they merely copy wchstr into the window
image structure. On the other hand, care must be taken when using these
functions because they don't perform any kind of checking (such as for
the newline character), they don't advance the current cursor position,
and they truncate the string, rather then wrapping it around to the new
line.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the
preceding routine descriptions.
NOTES
The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h
and unctrl.h.
Note that all routines except waddwchnstr may be macros.
