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.
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.
89 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
90 Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.
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>.
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.
