curs_inswch(3) Library Functions Manual curs_inswch(3) NAME curs_inswch, inswch, winswch, mvinswch, mvwinswch - Insert a wchar_t character before the character under the cursor in a Curses window LIBRARY Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so) SYNOPSIS #include <curses.h> int inswch(chtype wch); int winswch(WINDOW *win, chtype wch); int mvin- swch(int y, int x, chtype wch); int mvwinswch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype wch); DESCRIPTION These routines insert the character wch, which contains a wide charac- ter, before the character under the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are moved one space to the right, with the possi- bility of the rightmost character on the line being lost. These rou- tines do not change the cursor position after moving to y, x, if spec- ified. 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 specification. MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons. Digital recommends the use of the *ins_wch functions in new applica- tions (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.
