curs_ins_wstr(3X)					     curs_ins_wstr(3X)

NAME
       ins_wstr, ins_nwstr, wins_wstr, wins_nwstr, mvins_wstr, mvins_nwstr,
       mvwins_wstr, mvwins_nwstr - insert a wide-character string into a
       curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curses.h>

       int ins_wstr(const wchar_t *wstr);
       int ins_nwstr(const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int wins_wstr(WINDOW *win, const	wchar_t	*wstr);
       int wins_nwstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr,	int n);

       int mvins_wstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int mvins_nwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int mvwins_wstr(WINDOW *win, int	y, int x, const	wchar_t	*wstr);
       int mvwins_nwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int	x, const wchar_t *wstr,	int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines insert a wchar_t character string	(as many characters as
       will fit	on the line) before the	character under	the cursor.  All char-
       acters to the right of the cursor are shifted right, with the possibil-
       ity of the rightmost characters on the line being lost.	No wrapping is
       performed.   The	cursor position	does not change	(after moving to y, x,
       if specified).  The four	routines with n	as the last argument insert  a
       leading	substring  of at most n	wchar_t	characters.  If	n is less than
       1, the entire string is inserted.

       If a character in wstr is a tab,	newline, carriage return or backspace,
       the cursor is moved appropriately within	the window.   A	 newline  also
       does  a	clrtoeol  before  moving.   Tabs are considered	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 a	character in the  ^-representation  of
       the control character.

NOTES
       Note that all but wins_nwstr may	be macros.

       If  the	first character	in the string is a nonspacing character, these
       functions will fail.  XSI does not define what will happen  if  a  non-
       spacing character follows a control character.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they
       return ERR.

       Functions  with	a  "mv"	 prefix	 first perform a cursor	movement using
       wmove, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
       the window pointer is null.
