CURSES_INSERTCH(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					CURSES_INSERTCH(3)

NAME

     curses_insert, insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch -- curses insert characters routines

LIBRARY

     Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)

SYNOPSIS

     #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 functions insert characters on stdscr or on the specified window.

     The insch() function inserts the character given in ch at the current cursor position on stdscr.  The cursor is not advanced and wrapping is
     not performed.

     The winsch() function is the same as the insch() function, excepting that the character is inserted on the window specified by win.

     The mvinsch() and mvwinsch() functions are the same as the insch() and insch() functions, respectively, excepting that wmove() is called to
     move the cursor to the position specified by y, x before the character is inserted on the window.

RETURN VALUES

     Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.  The functions that return an int will return one of the following
     values:

     OK   The function completed successfully.
     ERR  An error occurred in the function.

NAME

       curs_insch, insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch - Insert a character before the character under the cursor in a Curses window

SYNOPSIS

       #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 );

LIBRARY

       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

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.)

NOTES

       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

       Note that insch, mvinsch, and mvwinsch may be macros.

RETURN VALUES

       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful completion.
