.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
All of these routines write all the characters of the null terminated character
string \fIstr\fR on the given window. It is similar to calling \fBwaddch()\fR
once for each character in the string. The four routines with \fIn\fR as the
last argument write at most \fIn\fR characters. If \fIn\fR is negative, then
the entire string will be added.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
