28 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
29 These routines insert a character string (as many charac-
30 ters as will fit on the line) before the character under
31 the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are
32 shifted right, with the possibility of the rightmost char-
33 acters on the line being lost. The cursor position does
34 not change (after moving to <I>y</I>, <I>x</I>, if specified). The four
35 routines with <I>n</I> as the last argument insert a leading sub-
36 string of at most <I>n</I> characters. If <I>n</I><=0, then the entire
39 If a character in <I>str</I> is a tab, newline, carriage return
40 or backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the
41 window. A newline also does a <B>clrtoeol</B> before moving.
42 Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column. If a
43 character in <I>str</I> is another control character, it is drawn
44 in the <B>^</B><I>X</I> notation. Calling <B>winch</B> after adding a control
45 character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return
46 the control character, but instead returns a character in
47 the ^-representation of the control character.
51 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
52 All routines that return an integer return <B>ERR</B> upon fail-
53 ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other
54 than <B>ERR</B>") upon successful completion, unless otherwise
55 noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
60 Note that all but <B>winsnstr</B> may be macros.
64 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
65 These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
66 Issue 4, which adds const qualifiers to the arguments.
67 The XSI Curses error conditions <B>EILSEQ</B> and <B>EILOVERFLOW</B>
68 associated with extended-level conformance are not yet
69 detected (this implementation does not yet support XPG4
70 multi-byte characters).
