SYNOPSIS
cc [
flag ... ]
file ...
-lcurses [
library ... ]
#include <curses.h>
int addstr(
char *str);
int addnstr(
char *str,
int n);
int waddstr(
WINDOW *win,
char *str);
int waddnstr(
WINDOW *win,
char *str,
int n);
int mvaddstr(
int y,
int x,
char *str);
int mvaddnstr(
int y,
int x,
char *str,
int n);
int mvwaddstr(
WINDOW *win,
int y,
int x,
char *str);
int mvwaddnstr(
WINDOW *win,
int y,
int x,
char *str,
int n);
DESCRIPTION
All of these routines write all the characters of the null terminated
character string
str on the given window. It is similar to calling
waddch() once for each character in the string. The four routines
with
n as the last argument write at most
n characters. If
n is
negative, then the entire string will be added.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer
ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than
ERR upon successful completion.
