curs_insch(3) Library Functions Manual curs_insch(3) NAME curs_insch, insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch - Insert a character be- fore the character under the cursor in a Curses window LIBRARY Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so) SYNOPSIS #include <curses.h> int insch(chtype ch); int winsch(WINDOW *win, chtype ch); int mvin- sch(int y, int x, chtype ch); int mvwinsch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype ch); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry 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. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: curses(3) Others: standards(5) delim off curs_insch(3)
