DESCRIPTION
These functions insert a wchar_t character string (as many wchar_t
characters as will fit on the line) in the current or specified window
immediately before the current or specified position. All characters to
the right of the cursor are moved to the right, with the possibility of
the rightmost characters on the line being lost.
Any nonspacing characters in the string are associated with the first
spacing character in the string that precedes the nonspacing charac‐
ters. If the first character in the string is a nonspacing character,
these functions will fail.
These functions: Do not perform wrapping Do not advance the cursor
position Perform special-character processing
If a character in wstr is a tab, newline, carriage return, or
backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A new‐
line also results in clrtoeol before the cursor is moved. Tabs are con‐
sidered to be at every eighth column. If a character in wstr is another
control character, it is drawn in the ^X notation. Calling win_wch
after adding a control character (and moving to it, if necessary) does
not return the control character, but instead returns the representa‐
tion of the control character.
The ins_nwstr, mvins_nwstr, mvwins_nwstr, and wins_nwstr functions
insert at most n wchar_t characters. If n is less than 1, then these
functions insert the entire string.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
<stdio.h>.
Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they
return ERR.
