NAME

       insstr, insnstr, winsstr, winsnstr, mvinsstr, mvinsnstr, mvwinsstr, mvwinsnstr - insert string before cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>
       int insstr(const char *str);
       int insnstr(const char *str, int n);
       int winsstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);
       int winsnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);
       int mvinsstr(int y, int x, const char *str);
       int mvinsnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
       int mvwinsstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);
       int mvwinsnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines	insert a character string (as many characters as will fit on the line) before the character under the cursor.  All charac-
       ters to the right of the cursor are shifted 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).	The functions with n as the last argument insert a leading substring of at
       most n characters.  If n<=0, then the entire string is inserted.

       Special characters are handled as in addch.

RETURN VALUE

       All routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon	successful
       completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.

       X/Open  defines	no  error  conditions.	 In this implementation, if the window parameter is null or the str parameter is null, an error is
       returned.

NOTES

       Note that all but winsnstr may be macros.

PORTABILITY

       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, which adds const qualifiers to the arguments.

       The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  This is probably an error, since it makes this
       group of functions inconsistent.  Also, no implementation of curses documents this inconsistency.
