It is similar to calling <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for each character in the string. The four routines with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument write at most <EM>n</EM> characters. If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then the entire string will be added. </PRE> <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success (the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion. </PRE> <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE> Note that all of these routines except <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> may be macros. </PRE> <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE> All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The XSI errors EILSEQ and EOVERFLOW, associated with extended-level conformance, are not yet detected. </PRE> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG>. </PRE> <HR> <ADDRESS> Man(1) output converted with <a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
