NAME
       add_wchstr,  add_wchnstr,  wadd_wchstr,  wadd_wchnstr,  mvadd_wchstr,  mvadd_wchnstr,  mvwadd_wchstr,
       mvwadd_wchnstr - add an array of complex characters (and attributes) to a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int add_wchstr(const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int add_wchnstr(const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int wadd_wchstr(WINDOW * win, const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int wadd_wchnstr(WINDOW * win, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int mvadd_wchstr(int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int mvadd_wchnstr(int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
       int mvwadd_wchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr);
       int mvwadd_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines copy the array of complex characters wchstr into the window  image  structure  at  and
       after the current cursor position.  The four routines with n as the last argument copy at most n ele-ments, elements,
       ments, but no more than will fit on the line.  If n=-1 then the whole array is copied, to the maximum
       number of characters that will fit on the line.

       The  window  cursor  is  not advanced.  These routines work faster than waddnstr.  On the other hand,
       they do not perform checking (such as for the newline, backspace,  or  carriage  return  characters),
       they  do  not  advance  the  current  cursor position, they do not expand other control characters 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 cchar_t, 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.

NOTES
       All functions except wadd_wchnstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success.

PORTABILITY
       All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
