.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBaddchstr()\fR function copies the \fBchtype\fR character string to the
\fBstdscr\fR window at the current cursor position.  The \fBmvaddchstr()\fR and
\fBmvwaddchstr()\fR functions copy the  character string to the starting
position indicated by the \fIx\fR (column)  and \fIy\fR (row) parameters (the
former to the \fBstdscr\fR window;  the latter to window \fIwin\fR).  The
\fBwaddchstr()\fR is identical to \fBaddchstr()\fR, but writes  to the window
specified by \fIwin\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBaddchnstr()\fR, \fBwaddchnstr()\fR, \fBmvaddchnstr()\fR, and
\fBmvwaddchnstr()\fR functions write \fIn\fR characters to the window,  or as
many as will fit on the line. If \fIn\fR 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 \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR parameters.
.sp
.LP
These functions differ from the \fBaddstr\fR(3XCURSES) set of functions in two
important respects.  First, these functions do \fInot\fR advance the cursor
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 \fBchtype\fR character  are used.
