Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
insch, winsch, mvinsch, mvwinsch: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX
Refer to the
standards(5)
reference page for more information
about industry standards and associated tags.
These routines insert the character
ch
before
the character under the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor
are moved one space to the right, with the possibility of the rightmost character
on the line being lost. The cursor position does not change after moving to
y,
x, if specified. (This does not
imply use of the hardware insert-character feature.)
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.
Note that
insch,
mvinsch, and
mvwinsch
may be macros.
All routines return the integer
ERR
upon
failure and
OK
upon successful completion.
