<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       These routines copy <EM>chstr</EM> into the window image  structure
       at  and  after the current cursor position.  The four rou-
       tines 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 string is copied, to the maximum number  of  charac-
       ters that will fit on the line.

       The window cursor is <EM>not</EM> advanced, and these routines work
       faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>.  On the other hand, they do not per-
       form  any  kind  of  checking  (such  as  for the newline,
       backspace, or carriage return characters), they do not ad-
       vance the current cursor position, they do not expand oth-
       er control characters to ^-escapes, and they truncate  the
       string  if  it crosses the right margin, rather than wrap-
       ping it around to the new line.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
       All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on
       success  (the  SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value
       other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion, unless other-
       wise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.

       X/Open  does not define any error conditions.  This imple-
       mentation returns an error if the window pointer is  null.


</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       Note that all routines except <STRONG>waddchnstr</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These  entry  points are described in the XSI Curses stan-
       dard, Issue 4.
