curs_insstr(3X)curs_insstr(3X)NAME
curs_insstr: insstr, insnstr, winsstr, winsnstr, mvinsstr, mvinsnstr,
mvwinsstr, mvwinsnstr - insert string before character under the cursor
in a curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int insstr(char *str);
int insnstr(char *str, int n);
int winsstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
int winsnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
int mvinsstr(int y, int x, char *str);
int mvinsnstr(int y, int x, char *str, int n);
int mvwinsstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
int mvwinsnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines insert a 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 moved to the right, with the possibility of
the rightmost characters 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 four routines
with n as the last argument insert at most n characters. If n<=0, then
the entire string is inserted.
If a character in str 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 str is another control character, it is drawn
in the ^X notation. Calling winch after adding a control character (and
moving to it, if necessary) does not return the control character, but
instead returns the representation of the control character.
RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h
and unctrl.h.
Note that all but winsnstr may be macros.
