.Sh DESCRIPTION
|

These functions add character strings to
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|

|
will add the characters passed in
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
starting at the current cursor position.
|
|
Any background attributes currently set on
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
will be applied to the added character.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn waddstr
|
|
function does the same as
|
|
.Fn addstr
|
|
but adds the string to the window specified by
|
|
.Fn win .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn addnstr
|
|
function will add the contents of
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
but will limit the number of characters added to be, at most,
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
is \-1 then
|
|
.Fa addnstr
|
|
will add the number of characters contained in the null terminated string
|
|
.Fa string .
|
|
Any background attributes currently set on
|
|
.Dv stdscr
|
|
will be applied to the added character.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn waddnstr
|
|
function
|
|
does the same as

|
.Fa addnstr
|
|

|
|
.Fa win .
|
|

|
|
.Fn mvaddstr ,
|
|
.Fn mwaddnstr ,
|
|
.Fn mvwaddstr

and
|
|
.Fn mvwaddnstr
|
|
are the same as the functions
|
|
.Fn addstr ,
|
|
.Fn waddstr ,
|
|
.Fn waddstr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn waddnstr ,
|
|
respectively, excepting that
|
|
.Fn wmove
|
|
is called to move the cursor to the position specified by
|
|
.Fa y ,
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
before the string is added to the window.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
