.TH curs_insstr 3X "" .SH NAME \fBinsstr\fR, \fBinsnstr\fR, \fBwinsstr\fR, \fBwinsnstr\fR, \fBmvinsstr\fR, \fBmvinsnstr\fR, \fBmvwinsstr\fR, \fBmvwinsnstr\fR - insert string before cursor in a \fBcurses\fR window .SH SYNOPSIS \fB#include <curses.h>\fR .br \fBint insstr(const char *str);\fR .br \fBint insnstr(const char *str, int n);\fR .br \fBint winsstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str);\fR .br \fBint winsnstr(WINDOW *win, const char *str, int n);\fR .br \fBint mvinsstr(int y, int x, const char *str);\fR .br \fBint mvinsnstr(int y, int x, const char *str, int n);\fR .br \fBint mvwinsstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str);\fR .br \fBint mvwinsnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const char *str, int n);\fR .br .SH DESCRIPTION These routines insert a character string (as many characters as will fit on the line) before the character under the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are shifted right, with the possibility of the rightmost characters on the line being lost. The cursor position does not change (after moving to \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if specified). The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument insert a leading substring of at most \fIn\fR characters. If \fIn\fR<=0, then the entire string is inserted. If a character in \fIstr\fR is a tab, newline, carriage return or backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A newline also does a \fBclrtoeol\fR before moving. Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column. If a character in \fIstr\fR is another control character, it is drawn in the \fB^\fR\fIX\fR notation. Calling \fBwinch\fR after adding a control character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return the control character, but instead returns a character in the the ^-representation of the control character. .SH RETURN VALUE All routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine descriptions. .SH NOTES Note that all but \fBwinsnstr\fR may be macros. .SH PORTABILITY These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, which adds const qualifiers to the arguments. The XSI Curses error conditions \fBEILSEQ\fR and \fBEILOVERFLOW\fR associated with extended-level conformance are not yet detected (this implementation does not yet support XPG4 multibyte characters). .SH SEE ALSO \fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_clear\fR(3X), \fBcurs_inch\fR(3X). .\"# .\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS .\"# Local Variables: .\"# mode:nroff .\"# fill-column:79 .\"# End:
