<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       These routines copy the array of complex characters <EM>wchstr</EM>
       into  the  window image structure at and after the current
       cursor position.  The four routines 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  routines  work
       faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>.  On the other hand, they do not per-
       form checking (such as for the newline, backspace, or car-
       riage  return characters), they do not advance the current
       cursor position, they do not expand other control  charac-
       ters  to  ^-escapes,  and  they  truncate the string if it
       crosses the right margin, rather than wrapping  it  around
       to the new line.

       These  routines  end  successfully  on encountering a null
       <EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>, 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>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       All functions except <STRONG>wadd_wchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
       All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
       success.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       All these entry points are described  in  the  XSI  Curses
       standard, Issue 4.
