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 ); LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses) DESCRIPTION
These routines insert the character wch, which contains a wide character, 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. These rou- tines do not change the cursor position after moving to y, x, if specified. This does not imply use of the hardware insert-character fea- ture. NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>. Note that inswch, mvinswch, and mvwinswch may be macros. The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specifica- tion. MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons. Use the *ins_wch functions in new applications (see curs_ins_wch(3)). RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion. SEE ALSO
Functions: curses(3), curs_ins_wch(3) curs_inswch(3)

curs_inswch, inswch, winswch, mvinswch, mvwinswch - insert a wchar_t character before the character under the cursor in a curses window SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ] #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
These routines insert the character wch, holding a wchar_t character, 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. ATTRIBUTES

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h> and <widec.h>. Note that inswch(), mvinswch(), and mvwinswch() may be macros. None of these routines can use the color attribute in chtype. SunOS 5.11 31 Dec 1996 curs_inswch(3CURSES)
