curs_instr(3X)                 08 Jun 1992                   curs_instr(3X)

NAME
     cursinstr:  inswstr, insnwstr, winswstr, winsnwstr, mvinswstr,
     mvinsnwstr, mvwinswstr, mvwinsnwstr - insert wchart string before
     character under the cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>
     int inswstr(wchart *wstr);
     int insnwstr(wchart *wstr, int n);
     int winswstr(WINDOW *win, wchart *wstr);
     int winsnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchart *wstr, int n);
     int mvinswstr(int y, int x, wchart *wstr);
     int mvinsnwstr(int y, int x, wchart *wstr, int n);
     int mvwinswstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchart *wstr);
     int mvwinsnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchart *wstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     With these routines, a wchart character string (as many wchart char-
     acters as will fit on the line) is inserted before the character under
     the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are moved to the
     right, with the possibility of the rightmost characters 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 charac-
     ter feature.) The four routines with n as the last argument insert at
     most n wchart characters. If n<=0, then the entire string is
     inserted.

     If a character in wstr is a tab, newline, carriage return or back-
     space, the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A newline
     also does a clrtoeol before moving. Tabs are considered to be at every
     eighth column. If a character in wstr is another control character, it
     is drawn in the ^X notation. Calling winch after adding a control
     character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return the control
     character, but instead returns the representation of the control char-
     acter.

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 all but winsnwstr may be macros.
