+.SH NAME
+\fBaddchstr\fR, \fBaddchnstr\fR, \fBwaddchstr\fR,
+\fBwaddchnstr\fR, \fBmvaddchstr\fR, \fBmvaddchnstr\fR, \fBmvwaddchstr\fR,
+\fBmvwaddchnstr\fR - add a string of characters (and attributes) to a
+\fBcurses\fR window
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
+
+\fBint addchstr(const chtype *chstr);\fR
+.br
+\fBint addchnstr(const chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
+.br
+\fBint waddchstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr);\fR
+.br
+\fBint waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
+.br
+\fBint mvaddchstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr);\fR
+.br
+\fBint mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
+.br
+\fBint mvwaddchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr);\fR
+.br
+\fBint mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines copy \fIchstr\fR into the window image structure at and after
+the current cursor position. 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.
