mvaddwstr(3CURSES)

Name

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

Synopsis

cc  [flag]... file... -lcurses [library]...

#include<curses.h> 

int addwstr(wchar_t *wstr);

int addnwstr(wchar_t *wstr, int n);

int waddwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr);

int waddnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr, int n);

int mvaddwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);

int mvaddnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);

int mvwaddwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x , wchar_t *wstr);

int mvwaddnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);

Description

All of these routines write all the characters of the null-terminated wchar_t character string wstr on the given window. The effect is similar to calling waddwch(3CURSES) once for each wchar_t character in the string. The four routines with n as the last argument write at most n wchar_t characters. If n is negative, then the entire string will be added.

RETURN VALUE

RETURN VALUE

All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

Notes

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <nctrl.h> and <widec.h>.

Note that all of these routines except waddwstr() and waddnwstr() may be macros.
