curs_inswstr(3)
NAME
  curs_inswstr, inswstr, insnwstr, winswstr, winsnwstr, mvinswstr,
  mvinsnwstr, mvwinswstr, mvwinsnwstr - Insert a wchar_t string before the
  character under the cursor in a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
  #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 );

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses)

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 cursor.
  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
  routines do not change the cursor position 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 routines insert the entire string.

  If a character in wstr is a tab, newline, carriage return, or backspace,
  the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A newline also results
  in clrtoeol before moving.  Tabs are considered to be at every eighth
  column. If a character in wstr is another control character, it is drawn in
  the ^X notation. Calling winch after adding a control character (and moving
  to it, if necessary) does not return the control character, but instead
  returns the representation of the control character.

NOTES
  The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
  <stdio.h>.

  Note that all but winsnwstr may be macros.

  The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses
  functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specification.
  MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons. Use
  the *ins_wstr and *ins_nwstr functions in new applications (see
  curs_ins_wstr(3)).

RETURN VALUES
  All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other
  than ERR upon successful completion.
