DESCRIPTION

39       All  of these routines copy chstr directly into the window image struc‐
40       ture starting at the current cursor position. The four routines with  n
41       as the last argument copy at most n elements, but no more than will fit
42       on the line. If n=-1 then the whole string is copied,  to  the  maximum
43       number that fit on the line.
44
45
46       The position of the window cursor is not advanced. These routines works
47       faster than waddnstr() (see  curs_addstr(3CURSES)) because they  merely
48       copy  chstr  into  the  window image structure. On the other hand, care
49       must be taken when using these functions because they  do  not  perform
50       any  kind  of checking (such as for the newline character), they do not
51       advance the current cursor position,  and  they  truncate  the  string,
52       rather then wrapping it around to the next line.
53

RETURN VALUES

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