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 functions write the characters of the (null-terminated) wchar_t
character 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 functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any
characters. Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of
writing to the window.
The four functions with n as the last argument write at most n wchar_t
characters, or until a terminating null is reached. If n is -1, then
the entire string will be added.
RETURN VALUE
All functions return the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. This implementation
returns an error
o if the window pointer is null or
o if the string pointer is null or
o if the corresponding calls to wadd_wch return an error.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
the window pointer is null.
NOTES
All of these functions except waddnwstr may be macros.
PORTABILITY
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
