NAME
addchnstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchnstr, waddchnstr — add length limited string of single-byte characters and renditions to a window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int addchnstr(const chtype *chstr, int n);
int mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);
int mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr,
int n);
int waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These functions overlay the contents of the current or specified window,
starting at the current or specified position, with the contents of the array
pointed to by
chstr
until a null
chtype
is encountered in the array pointed to by
chstr.
These functions do not change the cursor position.
These functions do not perform special-character processing.
These functions do not perform wrapping.
These
functions copy at most n items, but no more than will fit on the line.
If n is -1 then the whole string is copied, to the maximum number
that fit on the line.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions return
OK.
Otherwise, they return
ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
APPLICATION USAGE
These functions are only guaranteed to operate reliably on character sets in
which each character fits into a single byte, whose attributes can be
expressed using only constants with the A_ prefix.
