NAME

curs_inswch: inswch, winswch, mvinswch, mvwinswch − insert a wchar_t character before the character under the cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>
int inswch(chtype wch);
int winswch(WINDOW ∗win, chtype wch);
int mvinswch(int y, int x, chtype wch);
int mvwinswch(WINDOW ∗win, int y, int x, chtype wch);

DESCRIPTION

With these routines, the character wch holding a wchar_t character 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 inswch, mvinswch, and mvwinswch may be macros.
