addwstr, waddwstr, mvaddwstr, mvwaddwstr, addnwstr, waddnwstr, mvaddnwstr, mvwaddnwstr - add a wide-

Description

waddwstr writes the characters of the (wide-null-terminated) wide-character string  wstr  to  the  window
       win,  as  if by constructing a cchar_t for each wchar_t in wstr, then calling wadd_wch(3NCURSES) with the
       resulting cchar_t.  curses processes spacing and non-spacing characters in wstr one at a time.  waddnwstr
       is similar, but writes at most n wide characters.  If n is -1, waddnwstr writes the entire  wide  string.
       ncurses(3NCURSES) describes the variants of these functions.

History

       X/Open  Curses  Issue 4  (1995)  initially  specified these functions.  The System V Interface Definition
       Version 4 of the same year specified functions named waddwstr and waddnwstr  (and  the  usual  variants).
       These were later additions to SVr4.x, not appearing in the first SVr4 (1989).

Name

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

Notes

       All of these functions except waddnwstr may be implemented as macros.

Portability

       X/Open Curses Issue 4 describes these functions.

       SVr4 describes a successful return value only as “an integer value other than ERR”.

Return Value

       These functions return OK on success and ERR on failure.

       In ncurses, they return ERR if

       •   win is NULL,

       •   wstr is NULL, or

       •   an internal wadd_wch(3NCURSES) call returns ERR.

       Functions prefixed with “mv” first perform cursor movement and fail if the position (y, x) is outside the
       window boundaries.

       configuration.
