       int addnwstr(const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

       int addwstr(const wchar_t *wstr);

       int mvaddnwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

       int mvaddwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);

       int mvwaddnwstr(WINDOW*win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

       int mvwaddwstr(WINDOW*win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);

       int waddnwstr(WINDOW*win, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

       int waddwstr(WINDOW*win, const wchar_t *wstr);

DESCRIPTION
       The addwstr() function writes a null-terminated	wide-character	string
       to  the	stdscr	window at the current cursor position.	The waddwstr()
       function performs an identical action, but writes the   string  to  the
       window  specified  by  win.  The mvaddwstr() and mvwaddwstr() functions
       write the string to  the position indicated by the  x  (column)	and  y
       (row)  parameters  (the former to the stdscr window; the latter to win‐
       dow win).

       The addnwstr(), waddnwstr(), mvaddnwstr(), and  mvwaddnwstr() functions
       write  at  most	n  characters to the  window. If n is less than 0, the
       entire string is written.  The former two functions place  the  charac‐
       ters  at	 the current cursor position;  the latter two commands use the
       position specified by the x and y parameters.

       All of these functions advance the cursor after writing the string.

       These functions are functionally equivalent to building a cchar_t  from
       the  wchar_t and the window rendition (or background character and ren‐
       dition)	and calling the	 wadd_wch(3XCURSES)  function  once  for  each
       wchar_t	in  the	 string. Refer to the  curses(3XCURSES) man page for a
       complete description of	special character handling and of the interac‐
       tion  between  the window rendition (or background character and rendi‐
       tion) and the character written.

       Note that these functions differ from the add_wchnstr(3XCURSES) set  of
       functions   in that the latter copy the string as is (without combining
       each character  with the foreground and background  attributes  of  the
       window).

PARAMETERS
       wstr	Is  a pointer to the wide-character string that is to be writ‐
		ten to the window.

       n	Is the maximum number of characters to be copied from wstr. 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 wstr  in
		the window.

       x	Is  the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of wstr
		in  the window.

       win	Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be	 writ‐
		ten.

RETURN VALUES
       On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
