  attributes) to a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
  #include <curses.h>

  int addchstr(
	  const chtype *chstr );

  int addchnstr(
	  const chtype *chstr,
	  int n );

  int waddchstr(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  const chtype *chstr );

  int waddchnstr(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  const chtype *chstr,
	  int n );

  int mvaddchstr(
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  const chtype *chstr );

  int mvaddchnstr(
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  const chtype *chstr,
	  int n );

  int mvwaddchstr(
	  WINDOW *win,

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  addchstr, waddchstr, mvaddchstr, mvwaddchstr, addchnstr, waddchnstr,
  mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchnstr:  XCURSES4.2

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
  All of these routines copy chstr directly into the window image structure
  starting at the current or specified cursor position. The four routines
  with n as the last argument copy at most n elements, but no more than will
  fit on the line. If n=-1, then all the routines copy the whole string, up
  to the maximum number that fit on the line or until a null terminator is
  reached.

  The routines do not advance the position of the window cursor. They work
  faster than waddnstr because they merely copy chstr into the window image
  structure. On the other hand, care must be taken when using these functions
  because they:

    ·  Do not perform any kind of checking (such as for the newline
       character)

    ·  Do not advance the current cursor position

    ·  Truncate the string, rather then wrapping it around to a new line

NOTES
  The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
  <stdio.h>.

  Note that all routines except waddchstr and waddchnstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
  All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful
  completion.
