curs_insch(3X) MISCELLANEOUS LIBRARY FUNCTIONS 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
With these routines, the character ch is inserted before the
character under the cursor. All characters to the right of
the cursor are moved one space to the right, with the possi-
bility 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.
