curs_insstr(3)							curs_insstr(3)

NAME
       insstr, insnstr, winsstr, winsnstr, mvinsstr, mvinsnstr, mvwinsstr,
       mvwinsnstr - insert string before cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>
       int insstr(const char *str);
       int insnstr(const char *str, int n);
       int winsstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);
       int winsnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);
       int mvinsstr(int y, int x, const char *str);
       int mvinsnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);
       int mvwinsstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);
       int mvwinsnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines insert a character string (as many characters as will
       fit on the line) before the character under the cursor.	All characters
       to the right of the cursor are shifted 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).  The functions
       with n as the last argument insert a leading substring of at most n
       characters.  If n<=0, then the entire string is inserted.

       Special characters are handled as in addch.

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.

       X/Open defines no error conditions.  In this implementation, if the
       window parameter is null or the str parameter is null, an error is
       returned.

NOTES
       Note that all but winsnstr may be macros.

PORTABILITY
       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4,
       which adds const qualifiers to the arguments.

       The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that insnstr and
       winsnstr perform wrapping.  This is probably an error, since it makes
       this group of functions inconsistent.  Also, no implementation of
       curses documents this inconsistency.

SEE ALSO
       curses(3), curs_util(3), curs_clear(3), curs_inch(3).
