65 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
66        These routines insert the character <EM>ch</EM> before the  charac-
67        ter  under the cursor.  All characters to the right of the
68        cursor are moved one space to the right, with  the  possi-
69        bility  of the rightmost character on the line being lost.
70        The insertion operation does not change the  cursor  posi-
71        tion.
72
73
74 </PRE>
75 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
76        All  routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon fail-
77        ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an  integer  value  other
78        than  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>")  upon  successful completion, unless otherwise
79        noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
80
81        Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
82        ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
83        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

86 </PRE>
87 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
88        These routines do not necessarily imply use of a  hardware
89        insert character feature.
90
91        Note that <STRONG>insch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvinsch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwinsch</STRONG> may be macros.
