CURS_INSWCH(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions CURS_INSWCH(3CURSES)
NAME
curs_inswch, inswch, winswch, mvinswch, mvwinswch - insert a wchar_t
character before the character under the cursor in a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [
flag ... ]
file ...
-lcurses [
library .. ]
#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);
DESCRIPTION
These routines insert the character
wch, holding a
wchar_t 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. 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.
