70        These routines insert a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> character string (as many characters as
71        will fit on the line) before  the  character  under  the  cursor.   All
72        characters  to  the  right  of  the  cursor are shifted right, with the
73        possibility of the rightmost characters on the  line  being  lost.   No
74        wrapping  is  performed.   The  cursor  position does not change (after
75        moving to <EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>, if specified).  The four routines with <EM>n</EM>  as  the  last
76        argument  insert  a  leading substring of at most <EM>n</EM> <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> characters.
77        If <EM>n</EM> is less than 1, the entire string is inserted.
78
79        If a character in <EM>wstr</EM> is a tab, newline, carriage return or backspace,
80        the  cursor  is  moved appropriately within the window.  A newline also
81        does a <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG> before moving.  Tabs are  considered  to  be  at  every
82        eighth column.  If a character in <EM>wstr</EM> is another control character, it
83        is drawn in the <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation.  Calling <STRONG>win_wch</STRONG> after  adding  a  control
84        character  (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return the control
85        character, but instead returns a character in the  ^-representation  of
86        the control character.

90        Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.
91
92        If  the  first character in the string is a nonspacing character, these
93        functions will fail.  XSI  does  not  define  what  will  happen  if  a
94        nonspacing character follows a control character.

98        Upon successful completion, these functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.  Otherwise, they
99        return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
100
101        Functions with a "mv" prefix first  perform  a  cursor  movement  using
102        <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
103        the window pointer is null.
