curs_insch(3X)                   UNIX System V                   curs_insch(3X)


NAME
      cursinsch:  insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch - insert a character before
      the character under the cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS
      #include <curses.h>

      int insch(chtype ch);
      int winsch(WINDOW *win, chtype ch);
      int mvinsch(int y, int x, chtype ch);
      int mvwinsch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype ch);

DESCRIPTION
      With these routines, the character ch is inserted before the character
      under the cursor.  All characters to the right of the cursor are moved
      one space to the right, with the possibility of the rightmost character
      on the line being lost.  The cursor position does not change (after
      moving to y, x, if specified).  (This does not imply use of the hardware
      insert character feature.)

RETURN VALUE
      All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
      other than ERR upon successful completion.

NOTES
      The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
      <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

      Note that insch, mvinsch, and mvwinsch may be macros.
