curs_inswch(3)
NAME
  curs_inswch, inswch, winswch, mvinswch, mvwinswch - Insert a wchar_t
  character before the character under the cursor in a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
  #include <curses.h>

  int inswch(
	  chtype wch );

  int winswch(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  chtype wch );

  int mvinswch(
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  chtype wch );

  int mvwinswch(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  chtype wch );

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses)

DESCRIPTION
  These routines insert the character wch, which contains a wide character,
  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. These 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.

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

  Note that inswch, mvinswch, and mvwinswch 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_wch functions in new applications (see curs_ins_wch(3)).

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