addwstr, addnwstr, waddwstr, waddnwstr, mvaddwstr,
mvaddnwstr, mvwaddwstr, mvwaddnwstr - add a string of wide
characters to a curses window and advance cursor
#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);
These functions write the characters of the (null-termi-
nated) 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 ad-
vanced 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.
All functions return the integer ERR upon failure and OK
on success.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. This imple-
mentation 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 er-
ror.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
ment using wmove, and return an error if the position is
outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
All of these functions except waddnwstr may be macros.
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4.
