  66        These routines insert a character string (as many  characters  as  will
  67        fit on the line) before the character under the cursor.  All characters
  68        to the right of the cursor are shifted right with  the  possibility  of
  69        the  rightmost  characters on the line being lost.  The cursor position
  70        does not change (after moving to <EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>, if  specified).   The  functions
  71        with  <EM>n</EM>  as  the  last argument insert a leading substring of at most <EM>n</EM>
  72        characters.  If <EM>n</EM>&lt;=0, then the entire string is inserted.
  73
  74        Special characters are handled as in <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.

  76
  77 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
  78        All routines that return an integer return  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  upon  failure  and  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
  79        (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful
  80        completion, unless otherwise noted in the  preceding  routine  descrip-
  81        tions.
  82
  83        X/Open  defines  no  error  conditions.  In this implementation, if the
  84        window parameter is null or the str parameter  is  null,  an  error  is
  85        returned.
  86
  87        Functions  with  a  "mv"  prefix  first perform a cursor movement using
  88        <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
  89        the window pointer is null.

  97        These  functions  are  described  in  the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4,
  98        which adds const qualifiers to the arguments.
  99
 100        The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that <STRONG>insnstr</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>win-</STRONG>
 101        <STRONG>snstr</STRONG> perform wrapping.  This is probably an error, since it makes this
 102        group of functions inconsistent.  Also,  no  implementation  of  curses
 103        documents this inconsistency.
