    curs_addwstr(3x)                                 curs_addwstr(3x)

## NAME

           addwstr,   addnwstr,   waddwstr,   waddnwstr,   mvaddwstr,
           mvaddnwstr, mvwaddwstr, mvwaddnwstr - add a string of wide
           characters to a curses window and advance cursor

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <curses.h>

           int addwstr(const wchar_t *wstr);
           int addnwstr(const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
           int waddwstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr);
           int waddnwstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
           int mvaddwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
           int mvaddnwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
           int mvwaddwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
           int mvwaddnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

## DESCRIPTION

           These  routines  write  the characters of the (null-termi-
           nated) wchar_tcharacter string wstr on the  given  window.
           It  is  similar to constructing a cchar_t for each wchar_t
           in the string, then calling  wadd_wch  for  the  resulting
           cchar_t.

           The mv routines perform cursor movement once, before writ-
           ing any characters.  Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as
           a side-effect of writing to the window.

           The  four  routines  with  n as the last argument write at
           most n wchar_t characters.  If n is -1,  then  the  entire
           string  will be added, up to the maximum number of charac-
           ters that will fit on the line,  or  until  a  terminating
           null is reached.

## RETURN VALUES

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

## NOTES

           Note that all of these routines except  waddnwstr  may  be
           macros.

## PORTABILITY

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