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
#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);
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 win-
dow. 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 no-
tation. 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.
Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.
If the first character in the string is a nonspacing charac-
ter, these functions will fail. XSI does not define what
will happen if a nonspacing character follows a control
character.
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Oth-
erwise, they return ERR.
