NAME
       curs_insstr,  insstr,  insnstr,	winsstr, winsnstr, mvinsstr, mvinsnstr, mvwinsstr, mvwinsnstr - Insert a string before the character under
       the 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 );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

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

       insstr, insnstr, winsstr, winsnstr, mvinsstr, mvinsnstr, mvwinsstr, mvwinsnstr:	XCURSES4.2

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

DESCRIPTION
       These routines insert a character string (as many characters as will fit on the line) before the character under the cursor. All characters
       to  the	right  of  the	cursor are moved to the 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). This does not imply use of the hardware insert-character feature.

       The four routines with n as the last argument insert at most n characters. If n<=0, then the routines insert the entire string.

       If a character in str is a tab, newline, carriage return, or backspace, the routines move the cursor appropriately  within  the	window.  A
       newline	also  causes  clrtoeol	before	moving. Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column. If a character in str is another control
       character, it is drawn in the ^X notation. Calling winch after adding a control character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not  return
       the control character, but instead returns the representation of the control character.

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

       Note that all but winsnstr may be macros.

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