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 possi‐
       bility of the rightmost characters on the line being lost.  No wrapping is performed.  The  cursor  posi‐
       tion 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  po‐
       sition is outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
