NAME

       ins_wstr, ins_nwstr, wins_wstr, wins_nwstr, mvins_wstr, mvins_nwstr, mvwins_wstr,
       mvwins_nwstr - insert a wide-character string into a curses window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int ins_wstr(const wchar_t *wstr);
       int ins_nwstr(const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int wins_wstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int wins_nwstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

       int mvins_wstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int mvins_nwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int mvwins_wstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int mvwins_nwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION

       These routines insert a wchar_t 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.   No wrapping is performed.  The cursor position does not change (after moving to y,
       x, if specified).  The four routines  with  n  as  the  last  argument  insert  a  leading
       substring  of  at  most  n  wchar_t characters.  If n is less than 1, the entire string is
       inserted.

       If a character in wstr is a tab, newline, carriage return  or  backspace,  the  cursor  is
       moved  appropriately  within  the  window.   A newline also does a 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 win_wch after adding a control
       character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not  return  the  control  character,  but
       instead returns a character in the ^-representation of the control character.

NOTES

       Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.

       If the first character in the string is a nonspacing character, these functions will fail.
       XSI does not define  what  will  happen  if  a  nonspacing  character  follows  a  control
       character.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they return ERR.

       Functions  with  a  “mv” prefix first perform a cursor movement using wmove, and return an
       error if the position is outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
