  70 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  71        These  routines insert a character string (as many charac-
  72        ters as will fit on the line) before the  character  under
  73        the cursor.  All characters to the right of the cursor are
  74        shifted right with the possibility of the rightmost  char-
  75        acters  on  the line being lost.  The cursor position does
  76        not change (after moving to  <EM>y</EM>,  <EM>x</EM>,  if  specified).   The
  77        functions  with  <EM>n</EM>  as  the last argument insert a leading
  78        substring of at most <EM>n</EM>  characters.   If  <EM>n</EM>&lt;=0,  then  the
  79        entire string is inserted.
  80
  81        Special characters are handled as in <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.
  82
  83
  84 </PRE>
  85 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
  86        All  routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon fail-
  87        ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an  integer  value  other
  88        than  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>")  upon  successful completion, unless otherwise
  89        noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
  90
  91        X/Open defines no error conditions.  In  this  implementa-
  92        tion, if the window parameter is null or the str parameter
  93        is null, an error is returned.
  94
  95
  96 </PRE>
  97 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
  98        Note that all but <STRONG>winsnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
  99
 100
 101 </PRE>
 102 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
 103        These functions are described in the XSI Curses  standard,
 104        Issue 4, which adds const qualifiers to the arguments.
 105
 106        The  Single  Unix  Specification,  Version  2  states that
 107        <STRONG>insnstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>winsnstr</STRONG> perform wrapping.  This  is  probably
 108        an error, since it makes this group of functions inconsis-
 109        tent.  Also, no implementation of  curses  documents  this
 110        inconsistency.
