DESCRIPTION

41       All  of these routines copy wchstr, which points to a string of wchar_t
42       characters, directly into the window image structure  starting  at  the
43       current cursor position. The four routines with  n as the last argument
44       copy at most n elements, but no more than will fit on the line. If n=−1
45       then  the whole string is copied, to the maximum number that fit on the
46       line.
47
48
49       The position of the window cursor is not advanced. These routines  work
50       faster  than   waddnwstr(3CURSES)  because they merely copy wchstr into
51       the window image structure. On the other hand, care must be taken  when
52       using  these  functions because they don't perform any kind of checking
53       (such as for the newline character), they do not  advance  the  current
54       cursor  position, and they truncate the string, rather than wrapping it
55       around to the new line.
56

RETURN VALUE

58       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an  integer  value
59       other  than  ERR  upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in
60       the preceding routine descriptions.
