<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These  functions  write  the  (null-terminated)  character
       string <EM>str</EM> on the given window.  It is similar to  calling
       <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for each character in the string.

       The  <EM>mv</EM>  functions  perform  cursor  movement once, before
       writing any characters.  Thereafter,  the  cursor  is  ad-
       vanced as a side-effect of writing to the window.

       The  four  functions  with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument write at
       most <EM>n</EM> characters, or until a terminating null is reached.
       If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then the entire string will be added.


</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 does not define any error conditions.  This  imple-
       mentation returns an error

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the window pointer is null or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the string pointer is null or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the corresponding calls to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> return an error.

       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><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       All of these functions except <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       These  functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
       Issue 4.
