addchstr(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions addchstr(3XCURSES) NAME addchstr, addchnstr, mvaddchstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchnstr, mvwaddch- str, waddchstr, waddchnstr - copy a character string (with renditions) to a window SYNOPSIS cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \ -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ] c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library ... ] #include <curses.h> int addchstr(const chtype *chstr); int addchnstr(const chtype *chstr, int n); int mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n); int mvaddchstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr); int mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n); int mvwaddchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr); int waddchstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr); int waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr, int n); DESCRIPTION The addchstr() function copies the chtype character string to the std- scr window at the current cursor position. The mvaddchstr() and mvwad- dchstr() functions copy the character string to the starting position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former to the stdscr window; the latter to window win). The waddchstr() is identi- cal to addchstr(), but writes to the window specified by win. The addchnstr(), waddchnstr(), mvaddchnstr(), and mvwaddchnstr() func- tions write n characters to the window, or as many as will fit on the line. If n is less than 0, the entire string is written, or as much of it as fits on the line. The former two functions place the string at the current cursor position; the latter two commands use the position specified by the x and y parameters. These functions differ from the addstr(3XCURSES) set of functions in two important respects. First, these functions do not advance the cur- sor after writing the string to the window. Second, the current window rendition is not combined with the character; only the attributes that are already part of the chtype character are used. PARAMETERS chstr Is a pointer to the chtype string to be copied to the window. n Is the maximum number of characters to be copied from chstr. If n is less than 0, the entire string is written or as much of it as fits on the line. y Is the y (row) coordinate of the starting position of chstr in the window. x Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of chstr in the window. win Is a pointer to the window to which the string is to be copied. RETURN VALUES On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS None.
