Miscellaneous Library Functions                    curs_insch(3X)



NAME
     insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch - insert a character before
     cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     int insch(chtype ch);
     int winsch(WINDOW *win, chtype ch);
     int mvinsch(int y, int x, chtype ch);
     int mvwinsch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype ch);

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 inser-
     tion operation does not change the cursor position.

RETURN VALUE
     All routines that return an integer return ERR upon  failure
     and  OK  (SVr4  specifies  only "an integer value other than
     ERR") upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted  in
     the preceding routine descriptions.

NOTES
     These routines do not necessarily imply use  of  a  hardware
     insert character feature.

     Note that insch, mvinsch, and mvwinsch may be macros.

PORTABILITY
     These functions are described in the  XSI  Curses  standard,
     Issue 4.

SEE ALSO
     curses(3X).

     Comparable  functions  in  the   wide-character   (ncursesw)
     library are described in curs_ins_wch(3X).
