+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions copy the (null-terminated)
+\fIchstr\fP array
+into the window image structure
+starting at the current cursor position.
+The four functions with \fIn\fP as the last
+argument copy at most \fIn\fP elements,
+but no more than will fit on the line.
+If \fBn\fP=\fB\-1\fP then the whole array is copied,
+to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line.
+.PP
+The window cursor is \fInot\fP advanced.
+These functions work faster than \fBwaddnstr\fP.
+On the other hand:
+.bP
+they do not perform checking
+(such as for the newline, backspace, or carriage return characters),
+.bP
+they do not advance the current cursor position,
+.bP
+they do not expand other control characters to ^-escapes, and
+.bP
+they truncate the string if it crosses the right margin,
+rather than wrapping it around to the new line.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All functions return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and \fBOK\fP on success.
+.PP
+X/Open does not define any error conditions.
+This implementation returns an error
+if the window pointer is null.
+.PP
+Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using
+\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
+or if the window pointer is null.
+.SH NOTES
+All functions except \fBwaddchnstr\fP may be macros.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+\fBcurses\fP(3X),
+\fBcurs_addstr\fP(3X).
+.PP
+Comparable functions in the wide-character (ncursesw) library are
+described in
+\fBcurs_add_wchstr\fP(3X).
