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.
