curs_ins_wstr(3X)                                      curs_ins_wstr(3X)

NAME         top

       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         top

       #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         top

       These routines insert a wchar_t 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.  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         top

       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 nonspacing character follows a control character.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.
