curs_insch(3curses)                              curs_insch(3curses)


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

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
             #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
             These routines insert the character ch 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 Values
             All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an
             integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
