curs_insch(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions curs_insch(3CURSES)NAMEcurs_insch, insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch - insert a character before the character under the cursor in a curses windowSYNOPSIScc [ 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);DESCRIPTIONWith these routines, the character ch is inserted 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 VALUESAll routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.ATTRIBUTESSee attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |Unsafe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+SEE ALSOcurses(3CURSES), attributes(5)NOTESThe header <curses.h> automatically includes the headers <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
