curs_inswstr, inswstr, insnwstr, winswstr, winsnwstr, mvinswstr, mvin‐
snwstr, mvwinswstr, mvwinsnwstr - insert wchar_t string before charac‐
ter under the cursor in a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
#include <curses.h>
int inswstr(wchar_t *wstr);
int insnwstr(wchar_t *wstr, int n);
int winswstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr);
int winsnwstr(WINDOW *win, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
int mvinswstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);
int mvinsnwstr(int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
int mvwinswstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr);
int mvwinsnwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, wchar_t *wstr, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines insert a wchar_t character string (as many wchar_t
characters as will fit on the line) before the character under the cur‐
sor. 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 wchar_t characters. If n<=0, then the entire string is inserted.
If a character in wstr is a tab, newline, carriage return, or
backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A new‐
line also does a clrtoeol(3CURSES) before moving. Tabs are considered
to be at every eighth column. If a character in wstr is another con‐
trol character, it is drawn in the ^X notation. Calling winwch(3CURSES)
after adding a control character (and moving to it, if necessary) does
not return the control character, but instead returns the representa‐
tion of the control character.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
