curs_insch(3X)curs_insch(3X)NAME
curs_insch: insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch - insert a character before
the character under the cursor in a curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
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 cursor position does not change (after moving to y, x,
if specified). (This does not imply use of the hardware insert character
feature.)
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h
and unctrl.h.
Note that insch, mvinsch, and mvwinsch may be macros.
