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.
