The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last +argument copy at most \fIn\fR elements, but no more than will fit on the line. +If \fBn\fR=\fB-1\fR then the whole string is copied, to the maximum number of +characters that will fit on the line. + +The window cursor is \fInot\fR advanced, and these routines work faster than +\fBwaddnstr\fR. On the other hand, they don't perform any kind of checking +(such as for the newline, backspace, or carriage return characters), they don't +advance the current cursor position, they don't expand other control characters +to ^-escapes, and they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin, +rather then wrapping it around to the new line. + +.SH RETURN VALUES +All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success +(the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon +successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine +descriptions. +.SH NOTES +Note that all routines except \fBwaddchnstr\fR may be macros. +.SH PORTABILITY +All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X). +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: |
