curs_ins_wch(3X)		 Library calls		      curs_ins_wch(3X)

NAME
       ins_wch,	 mvins_wch,  mvwins_wch,  wins_wch  -  insert a	curses complex
       character in a window

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curses.h>

       int ins_wch(const cchar_t *wch);
       int wins_wch(WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch);
       int mvins_wch(int y, int	x, const cchar_t *wch);
       int mvwins_wch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const cchar_t *wch);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions insert the curses complex character wch at  the	cursor
       in  the	specified window win (or stdscr).  The character previously at
       the cursor and any to its right move one	cell to	the right; the	right-
       most character on the line is discarded.	 The cursor does not advance.

RETURN VALUE
       These functions return OK on success and	ERR on failure.

       Functions taking	a WINDOW pointer argument fail if the pointer is NULL.

       Functions  prefixed with	"mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if
       the position (y,	x) is outside the window boundaries.

NOTES
       A terminal's insert_character (ich1) capability is not necessarily  em-
       ployed.

       ins_wch,	mvins_wch, and mvwins_wch may be implemented as	macros.

PORTABILITY
       X/Open Curses, Issue 4 describes	these functions.

       SVr4 describes successful return	values only as "an integer value other
       than ERR".

HISTORY
       SVr4  (1989)  implemented  these	functions under	the names inswch, win-
       swch, mvinswch, and mvwinswch.

SEE ALSO
       curs_insch(3X) describes	comparable functions in	the non-wide-character
       curses configuration.
