HELPLIB.HLB  —  CRTL  mv[w]addstr
    Move the cursor to coordinates (y,x) and add the specified
    string, to which str points, to the specified window.

    Format

      #include  <curses.h>

      int mvaddstr  (int y, int x, char *str);

      int mvwaddstr  (WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);

1  –  Arguments

 win

    A pointer to the window.

 y

    A window coordinate.

 x

    A window coordinate.

 str

    A pointer to the character string.

2  –  Description

    This routine performs the same function as mvwaddstr, but on the
    stdscr window.

    When mvwaddstr is used on a subwindow, the string is written onto
    the underlying window as well.

3  –  Return Values

    OK                 Indicates success.
    ERR                Indicates that the function causes the screen
                       to scroll illegally, but it places as much of
                       the string onto the window as possible. For
                       more information, see the scrollok function.
