DESCRIPTION

39       All  of  these routines write all the characters of the null terminated
40       character string str on the given window. It is similar to calling wad‐
41       dch()  once  for each character in the string. The four routines with n
42       as the last argument write at most n characters. If n is negative, then
43       the entire string will be added.
44

RETURN VALUES

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